DAY 30: Life Is Good Again.....

DAY 30:  Steamboat Springs thru Rabbit Ears Pass to Kremmling to Granby to Walden and back down to Steamboat Springs - 200 miles
TEMP:  63 to 77 Degrees

Today was ROAD TRIP  day on the motorcycle through the countryside around Steamboat Springs!

Driving and photographing......this is what I get!

I have found it works best if I don't tell Chuck just how far it is from Point A to Point B when we're doing a day ride on the motorcyle.......he tends to concentrate too much on how long the ride might be.  That's the difference between he and I; he has a defined "time limit" that he prefers to ride and I have NO "time limit" on riding.  I could ride all day......

But with Chuck, I have found what works best is to "dangle" a coffee stop in his future.  Like today; I just told him when we left Steamboat Springs, we'd stop for a great big cup of coffee in Granby.  He was as happy as a hippo....didn't even ask how far that was.....but when I saw the sign up ahead telling exactly how far Granby was, I realized it was time to "divert" his attention to the other side of the road, which I did with success......"Hey Chuck, LOOK at that (pointing frantically to the bushes on the other side of the road)!!!  Worked like a charm.......

He was still focused on that cup of coffee when we ran into some road construction.  MAJOR road construction......like "turn-your-engine-off" type of road construction.  Ya, we sat there for a good 15-20 minutes....BUT....

I got some great pictures of our feet.......

our reflection in the mirror....... 

the traffic behind us........ 

and the construction cone, all while we sat there; I even got caught up on my emails!!  

So, all in all, today was a pretty fun day!  Liz got to enjoy the scenery and Chuck got his cup of coffee....eventually.

Life is Good Again.........

P.S.  I would like to apologize to my sister for texting her all my construction sign and cone pictures while I was bored.......Hope you weren't in the middle of a business meeting or something....
