September 30th – Orem, Utah to Chama, New Mexico

My next-to-the-last day of traveling on this epic journey.   Today I will travel through the rest of Idaho, then   into the SW corner of Colorado and then into NE corner of New Mexico!

 

Todays drive I encountered mountains, deserts, canyons and much more.

Price Canyon, Utah

Somewhere north of Green River, Utah.

Long road, beautiful skies!

Late in the afternoon  I saw aspens turning fall colors near Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

Shortly after that, I turned south on Highway 64 and entered the northwest corner of New Mexico, going through the San Juan National Forest and stopping for the night at Chama, New Mexico.

The campground was nothing great, but it was surrounded by beautiful mountains and there was a grocery store right next door for me to get some food.

 

For the first time, I encountered a sewer connection that was in a concrete box underground.  You took off the lid, and reached down about 8 inches to get to the connection.   I guess that keeps it from freezing in the winter.

 

October 1st – Home again – Chama NM to Denton, TX

Today will be my last day of traveling before getting home!

It’s going to be a long day, but I want to get home today and not have to break this distance into 2 days.

 

I decided I could probably make this my home.  A lake,

mountains, cool air, sunshine……..

A great place to get souvenirs.

It hit 87 degrees again; haven’t seen that since leaving TX 2 months ago!

Around 9 PM, I made it home to Denton!   The official trip mileage is 10,833 miles!!!!
