Took off from Grand Junction and headed towards Evergreen. Now I know why they call it Evergreen...cuz it's GREEN......light green, yellow green, dark green, green green!! So beautiful. We went off onto Route 6 around Eisenhower Tunnel and saw some even more beautiful country.
This is a ski area called Arapahoe Basin where only 5 star black diamond slopes are.
Then we headed up higher and stopped at the Continental Divide. We met two Dutch cyclists who had started a journey in San Francisco and were heading East. It was enjoyable chatting with them.

We met up with Vicki and Karley (daughter in law and grandaughter) at Historic El Rancho Restaurant (http://www.historicelrancho.com/history.htm) We were the only folks there at the time because it was between lunch and dinner. The waitress knew them by name and was very sweet. Jack had a shirt with cars called Woodies. The waitress came up to him and touched his back and said "you have a Woodie on your back". Silent pause.......then we all started busting up and she realized what she said. Yeah our minds did go "there". But the best line was "Hey! You touched my Woodie!"
Later that night we enjoyed a BBQ steak dinner with Matt (Jack's son) and the family including my ya ya sister Ruthie. She moved from California to Colorado and I just had to see her! We took off to her house to spend a few days together.
