The Annual Pilgrimage to Jayson and Shay's


Well here it is , that time of year again and we are at Jayson and Shay's home in Missouri. We started on Sept. 7th about 8 am and reached the destination Friday evening around 5:30. On the way we saw a lot of beautiful country, this was a first for me, I have not been this way before past Green River and the Junction where we went through Moab on the way home last year. Dendra had gone with Saddie a few months before and had some things to recommend for us to do along the way. Of course we did do a few GeoCaches along the way but mostly when we had stopped for other things first, such as .... a dinosaur museum in Fruita Colorado then on to spend the night in Dillon Colorado, we had a real nice room there and also a very nice meal, Dendra seemed to like the barbequed ribs there. The next morning we stopped to ride the train at Silver Plume Colorado. I really enjoyed the ride, but when we got there it was a bit chilly and it was then I realized I had not thought of bringing a Jacket. We set about looking for a store to get one but the Gift shop was still closed so we went to the nearby town of Georgetown and was not able to find anything there but we looked at lots of neat old homes and buildings there, we found a Jacket at the Gift shop and had a great ride on the train. I took lots of photos but here are just a few. Here is a link for the Museum       Dino Museum
