May 29 – June 5
It was HOT when we were at Grand Junction so our activities were limited.
May 30 – A mellow day and I spent way too many hours reprovisioning.
May 31 – Went to visit Steve in the morning. Lovely to swim in his pool. Watched storm clouds in the distance. Went to Fruita in the afternoon for beers at Copper Club Brewing and pizza from Hot Tomato. Fruita is a fun town. Big for mountain bike tourism. There was a piano on the street that we played with.
June 1 – Matt went for a ride with Steve while I went to Snoops, a small lake where dogs can be off leash and swim. Only a mile to walk all the way around and Dexter had a good time playing with other dogs.
June 2 – Visited the Colorado National Monument. Some interesting rock formations and views of the valley. Quite hot that day so we did a shorter hike to Devils Kitchen.
June 3 – Matt and Steve went out early to ride lunch loops. Went back to Snoops so Dexter could swim. That afternoon we went back to Steves for a swim and into Fruita for the Mike the Headless Chicken Festival. No joke, google it. Typical small town festival, the Smitherens played a set that we left a few songs in.
Benat had fun swimming!
Benat was not happy about meeting the Headless Chicken.
June 4 – With the temps so high this week we weren’t able to hike for Dexters sake. Which also meant all of Benats naps were in his sleepy tent. So on this morning we went back to the town park (Canyon View Park) which had a huge play area for Benat and a doggy area with swimming hole for Dexter. That afternoon we met Steve at the Palisades Brewery in Palisades. More delicious beer and food.
