Into Colorado

Clouds hug Grand Teton's peak with Colter Bay in the foreground

Wind and rain erosion carve the lower flanks of these mountains on the way to Montrose, CO
MONTROSE, CO - - After three nights camping in Grand Teton NP, we headed out in a general southerly direction.  300 miles down the road, we spent the night in Rawlins, WY.  From there it's been lots of scenic but lonely state highway (WY & CO) miles to land here in Montrose.  Tomorrow  were headed to either Ouray or Telluride;  maybe Durango or Silverton.  Actually we'll probably hit them all as we have some time to spare.
     I can already hear you saying:  How can they have time to spare when Florida was trashed by the hurricane? Fortunately, our house survived really well. Somehow we never even lost power.  Now, about a mile away there was much more destruction.  What we learned from last year's October hurricane (we were in Maine when that one struck) was not to hurry home because you may not be able to get there or you may be just two more souls looking for food/water/gasoline or some semblance of normal life.
