Denver

Spent all day yesterday trying to get to Denver. I left Grand Junction at 9 in the morning and got about 60 miles down the road to find the Interstate closed down. Highway patrolman shot, the suspect was shot and killed...all on the interstate. Both directions were closed. I was in Glenwood Springs...just before that gorgeous canyon and I found myself a little spa. I settled in for two hours and got the best manicure and pedicure I think I've ever had. And great conversation with Mom, Winnie, who owned the spa and her daughter Heidi. The freeway opened about 4...for about 4 minutes I was rolling along and then came to a traffic jam and a 2mph crawl...so I took a picture of my toes. A little blurry...not easy to photograph when I'm driving. 

Finally the traffic started moving and as I was driving through Vail, the snow started. By the time I got over the pass and to Frisco, it was a near white out. I pulled off at Frisco and hung out in the Safeway parking lot...were all these things a sign that I should turn around and drive back to the coast? 

Finally, the snow lightened up and I made it to Denver about 7. 

Turned my RV in this morning...4637 miles I drove. Had lunch with Julia and then a bike ride with my brother...a great day. On my way to Omaha tomorrow. 

I let you know when I arrive. 

Peace,
