Grand Junction and Surroundings

From Green River Utah, we head east on Interstate 70 into western Colorado to the Grand Junction area. We plan on having a number of days in the area as it was on our list as a "possible place to buy a house and settle down someday" location.

We spent the first several days at the Monument RV Resort in Fruita CO. The first order of business is to FIND FOOD! There's a Chinese place called Dragon Treasure right around the corner. The reviews look good, so we head on over. They're pretty busy, but they seat us quickly.

Wendy is so enamored with their hot and sour soup that she goes back again the next day!

We check out the neighborhoods around Fruita, Appleton, and Redlands before heading to Grand Junction and setting up our base camp at the KOA while we explored the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway, which runs southeast through the Grand Mesa National Forest.

After a day of adventuring, we have to check out the local eateries. We end up at Snooks Bottom Barbecue, a food truck parked at a car wash. We get there around closing time, Wendy orders her brisket sandwich, and then they throw me a curve, two full racks of spareribs for the price of two half racks. How can I say, "No"?
