Dated September 15: We have been waking up to frost the last few mornings. It gets very warm during the day but really cools off at night. Yesterday we went on several trail rides with our jeep. We went on Ophir, then later in the day we went on Poughkeepsie Gulch, it was a doozy. You can see some of the pictures we took of the road. We had a thrilling ride but much to Wilburs dissapointment when he (we) decided we had to turn around when the rocks were the size of 3 watermellons. We had also had a calm ride up the Last Dollar Highway. All of these roads gave us a lot of beautiful scenery. We ate lunch at True Grit in Ridgeway, which was a tribute to John Wayne. The movie True Grit was filmed on the Last Dollar Highway and in Ridgeway. We drove through Telluride, a nice mountain town but with lots of activity. We are getting to know these mountains here in this area. They are rugged, huge and varied in looks but all beautiful. Today is our last day on the mountains and tomorrow we are heading toward Iowa.
