RMMR

Over Father's Day weekend, I finally got to take my Mustang on a road trip I had been wanting to do for years.  This involved heading up to Steamboat Springs, CO, for the annual Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup, a great car show nestled up in the hills of Colorado.  I spent the first day on a drive up through northern AZ and then through Moab, UT, and finally arriving in Grand Junction, CO, for the night. Alas, the trip took longer than expected, though, as I blew a tire on a lonely stretch of road south of Moab. After waiting two hours for the tow truck, this culminated in a ride via said tow truck the rest of the way into Grand Junction, not only making for a long and frustrating day but making me miss dinner with an old college friend that lives there :(  After that, though, the rest of the trip was fantastic, as were the Mustang people I met over the next several days.  I even took a trophy in my class -  a first for me!  On the way home, I drove through Durango, CO, and was treated to even more stunning mountain views, and one last night in the cool mountain air before heading back into the AZ heat.  A grand trip to be sure!
