Where In The World Is Sum1?

Putting Around In Pueblo

         This week finds me in Pueblo Colorado for a class.  The customer is involved in a huge project, working at a remote location about 20 miles from Pueblo.  They are disposing of some pretty dangerous stuff.  I'm not sure how secret the project is, so I won't say exactly what they are doing, but it's not something I want to be involved in.

         Since I'm on the road for 4 weeks in a row this time, I decided to take a little vacation.  I flew back from Maui on Thursday last week, then turned around and flew to Denver on Friday morning.  Then it was a 5 hour drive to Moab Utah.  Why drive there?  To see two National Parks I've wanted to visit for a long time, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands National Park.  I've been many places in my life, have traveled quite a bit around the world, but I've not seen sights like I saw last weekend.  To stand in the open desert and see huge rocks delicately balanced, to see holes in the middle of a rock, probably caused by wind and rain was awe inspiring.  Canyonlands is justly named.  Sadly, the public roads do not allow you to get anywhere near the center of it all, so I couldn't get where I wanted to be.  I knew I should have gotten a 4-wheel drive vehicle this week!  So Saturday was spent visiting the parks, with an overnight stay in Grand Junction Colorado.  Sunday I drove through the mountains along Hwy 50, and once again I was treated to views that at times can leave you breathless.

         Of course, I have to share a couple of photos from this trip.
