After getting new side mirror installed and oil put in, it was off to Clolrado Monument, which takes about an hour to drive through. When I stop at the pullouts for pix and experiencing the beauty before me, it takes twice as long! But time has little meaning to me these days , other than the rising and setting of the sun. Indescribable; so I’ll let the pix speak for me. Black Canyon of the Gunnison is overwhelmingly powerful-I could feel its strength with 2,000 foot drops and vertical rock cliffs. In 1909 the townspeople plus 400 workers put in a tunnel through that superhard rock to move water from the Gunnison River to the parched desert land. I can’t even imagine usingnpick axes to break up that rock-but they did it! Grand Junction CO is the confluence of the Colorado And Gunnison Rivers, powerhouses in their own right. The 2 men who explored the Gunnison River, which extends 26 miles (I think) through the rock powerhouses, to figure out where to put the tunnel weren’t sure they’d live to complete the task; they did it! In Luke 19:40, Jesus speaks that the rocks will cry out-today I got to understand what that might be like; I never had any idea what that might mean before today. The roar of the river must have been deafening to the explorers. Beautiful skies today with air temp up to 72, but the sun always feels hot to me out here. Hope the pix can give you some idea of the massive strength in these two places. Enjoy the present-life is such a gift.
