Romy had his last hospital visit today (a two-week check up with his surgeon). We had lunch at the hospital cafeteria. I had a tuna melt on rye. It was soooooooo good!!! Romy had a gyro.

Ok, so we decided to just keep our camping party rolling tonight, and even though we were totally within driving distance of home on Sunday night, we camping outside of Portola, CA anyways!!!! Yay! It's sunset.

Jenn & Romy

Today we made it to Smith Creek Hot Springs in Nevada for some camping and soaking and relaxing!!!!

Romy

This morning we checked out Split Mountain in Dinosaur National Monument. The Green River cut down the mountain in half!

Jenn & Romy

Spontaneously, we called the Ashley National Forest to see if they had any yurts for rent tonight. We were able to stay at the Grizzly Ridge Yurt at 9,200 ft in the Uinta Mountains of Utah, north of Vernal. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! I love yurts!!!!!

Romy

Had to go to the state run liquor store to get some "normal" micro-brewed beer. We got all kinds of mix and match beers from breweries around the state of Utah. I felt like we were doing something wrong. The Mormons really make you feel sleezy for buying beer.

Romy & Jenn

Today we drove the Subaru up Mt. Evans, which is at 14,130 ft, and just a short drive from Golden. It is 20 ft higher than Pike's Peak (making the Mt Evans Scenic Byway the highest paved auto road in North America - woah!!!!), which we drove on January 7th, 2011 with the Daewoo.

Continuing the drive today from Utah into Golden, Colorado. Its so nice to be on a break!

What a drive today. From Oakland, CA to the Rocky Mountains in Utah, southeast of Salt Lake City. We found an awesome camping spot in the birch trees. Jenn drove the Subaru into a berm of dirt! Haha!

We are beginning our drive to Colorado for a workshop I am attending at the Colorado School of Mines this Monday and Tuesday.
