After arriving in Grand Junction Colorado and overnighting at the exceedingly clean and reasonable Junction West RV Park, we made our way farther east toward Denver...

Did you notice it harder to breathe in Denver? I heard the air is thin there. It’s cold here.
Also, consider dropping down and coming across on 40, visiting Alan, then shooting straight up 77 to Rootstown.

I don’t notice it in normal activity, but if I race up a flight of stairs, I’ll feel winded more quickly (and recover more quickly). Was much higher in Bryce than in Denver. Considered going to Charlotte on the way, but at this point we don’t have the extra two days it would take. )-: —Jeffy
