More Colorado Pictures

We also had the chance, while in Las Cruces (where we are spending the night tonight) to upload a few more photos to our Picasa album of Colorado. Enjoy!

Just an observation - if you are driving through Utah be sure you take note of the "No Services" signs. They are frequent and often ill-located, as in after the last exit with 100 miles to the next exit with services. No worries, we were well fueled to make it the distance, but be aware if you find yourself along I-70. It made us appreciate Arizona that much more when we arrived today - interesting looking plants, cacti, and helpful signage about gas exits.

We didn't make it to the Grand Canyon, but we did see the Hoover Dam. We just didn't want to add on the extra 120+ miles to an already long day to see the famous canyon. Besides, we had been seeing mini versions of it for the last three days, right? I guess another trip out west, some day, will be necessary. The Hoover Dam, on the other hand, was easily accessible - we drove over it! We hopped out to get a closer look. It really is impressive. Erica had a hard time reconciling the clean energy with the environmental damage, but she did get past it all in time to spit into the dam before we left. (She is certain that is on a list somewhere of 100 things to do before you die. Or maybe it was 1,000 things to do....)

Tomorrow we head to Texas!
