Sun going down

...time to change visors.
Can see Mt. Timpanogas toward Provo Canyon.

(US 40, US 189 JCT)



Bug guts

Had to clean smeared bug guts off my visor.

Vernal

Not the most beautiful place on this trip... But, there's a random water slide right by the gas station.
3.5 gal. 170 mi.

Maybell Town Park

Est. 1939 as "Public Square". Now it's more like "sprinkler square", where the local kids keep cool in the Summer, it seems.

Food & beverages

Well, I had heard there was a winery in Steamboat. It turns out it closed years ago. But there is a brewery that serves food... next best thing. That's Mahagony Ridge. But, they don't open 'til 4. So, I picked a cool sounding place nearby... The Boathouse Pub, with a patio on the river. Having an Easy Street Wheat (seemed appropriate) and a natural beef burger. Pricey, but nice atmosphere.

(update: the food was very good)




Steamboat

Stopped for gas. 210 mi. 3.78 gal. Not bad at all.

Rabbit Ears Pass

Kindof cool up here... But beautiful!

Berthoud Pass

(34205/73)

Edit: fixed the title. Berthoud, not beerhoud. Also, it was cold up there.


Empire, CO

Utah bound via US 40. Stopped at "The Original Hard Rock Cafe" in Empire, CO for breakfast.
