Chilly most of the day. More plains scenery, boring but didn't have much left. Cloudy and didn't see any mountains until we were in them. Traffic through Denver was lighter than I expected but clogged up climbing the mountains. Saw some rain before going through Eisenhower Tunnel but when we came out of that 1.7 mile long tunnel under the continental divide the weather was clearly different, I mean the sun was out.
Still chilly but as 
we went down in elevation the temperature rose. the farther we went the more layers came off. I70 is an engineering feat, stacked lanes going through Glennwood canyon following the Colorado River. When we stopped in 
Grand Junction ti was 95 degrees. Sitting 
outside the motel room it was cooling off, moon out and the sidewalk was warm on my bare feet. Tomorrow; off of the interstate and camping!
