500 miles of Arizona, Utah and Colorado

First stop this morning was to fuel up both cars.  How can I pass up a name like this and gas prices $1 a gallon less than the PRC.

Back on I-15 thru downtown Las Vegas...

Into Arizona, where the scenery starts to get nice.

...and spectacular at times.

Lunch and refuel stop in Beaver, Utah

Yikes, there was a reason there was no line at Carl's Jr.

Now on I-70 for the next four hours or so... across some beautiful parts of Utah.

We pulled off for a short break at the scenic view area.

OMG... seriously?

The exit to Moab and iconic Arches National Park which we visited a few years ago.

Wow, I hope they got a good deal on that color.

And finally Colorado.

And Grand Junction, our stop for the night.

And Summerhill Suites Downtown Grand Junction.  Clean and pleasant.

With a nice-ish view.

Cute downtown with lots of restaurants.

We opted for Rouge Restaurant, a French restaurant owned by a couple from Avignon.  

Outdoor seating on a perfect 75 degree evening.

Mrs. SFO777's onion soup was authentic and delicious.  All of our dishes were excellent.

What a treat to find this gem tonight.
