Grand? Junction, R&R by the RR
After Monday's Hummer Tour we had lunch in Moab,
gassed up and replenished the cash supply. Then we all buckled in for the
easy two hour drive to the RV Ranch at Grand Junction, where we had a two
day layover as scheduled R&R (a vacation within a vacation). Not that
one would necessarily schedule a vacation in Grand Junction, but we knew
we'd be ready for some downtime. The RV park was actually pretty nice, a
seeming oasis in the desert of Grand Junction. Unfortunately, it was right
next to the train tracks as many of our campgrounds have been. Note to self:
check vicinity to tracks in the future.
On Tuesday, the rest day, we headed over to the dinosaur museum. They boast realistic animatronic dinosaurs and have fun interactive exhibits like the two shown below:
Other than that, we bought innertubes for bicycle tires, watched part of the All Star Game, uploaded web pages and picked up email. Oh, and did eight loads of laundry.

have a cafe at the museum. |
Another interactive exhibit.
