From Colorado into Utah

Now we've got our new Lumix camera, I couldn't resist playing around with the shutter speed settings and getting a few nights shots done.



After leaving our hotel in Denver we started our journey towards Utah. Driving out of Colorado were some beautiful mountain sights, we went through a lot of areas which are used for skiing in the winter months.



There was a little town alongside the interstate which we used for gas - then on our way out spotted an odd little store that appeared to sell Moose related goods (Something which Alex was very keen to invest in!)



For brunch (as we didn't get a breakfast to start the day) we hopped off the interstate into a beautiful little mountain town called Silverthorne which the winter tourism has seemly made weathly. It was a fantasticly slick and well stocked little town, so we bought a coffee for the road.



For lunch we stopped off in a little town called Avon which had a bunch of old American stuff (houses and a train)



On our drive today we caught our first bit of rain since we've arrived in American and then a few minutes later some hail. Although it only last a few minutes, but it gave us an excuse to use the whippers for rain instead of trying to scrape bugs off the wind screen.

As we got closer to Utah the scenery started to slowly changed... Tomorrow we'll be spending the day going around the Arches National Park which is were they filmed a lot of the holy land scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - cool :)



We're trying to cut back on spending at the moment, after $50 meals in Denver, so for dinner tonight we're having a Subway each ($5 for a footlong!). We want to have enough cash to go on the Star Trek experience in Las Vegas (super geeky!!)
