Home Again

After spending 3 nights and two days camping near Moab, some good riding and awesome hiking, it was time to head home. The Colorado Plateau is one of my favorite places in our beautiful country. When climbing the western slope of the Rocky Mountains my eye is in the mirror and my mind is on the things I have seen and things I have just experienced.

Crossing under the continental divide through the eastbound lane of the longest tunnel on the US interstate system the weather changed. Warm and sunny turned into a chill and a few sprinkles. About 25 miles before the tunnel a car was passing to my left and kicked up a piece of tire tread and it hit the fender of the camper and almost tore it off. Not a huge deal, could have been worse. After stopping and looking at it I knew it would not fall off but I didn't like seeing it flopping against the trailer. Went to Fort Myer that night. I bought some RTD adhesive and glued the fender to the body of the camper, problem solved.
The rest of the trip home was uneventful, which can be a good thing. Returning home after a 2 week vacation in pretty much the same condition as when you left is the first goal of any trip.

I can't wait to start planning the next adventure
