Despite being the shortest mileage-wise, this drive was just as long as the others, because of the damned elevation. My car does not enjoy trying to climb to over 11,000 feet, so we took a lot of canyon roads at under 60mph. I made up some time on the stretch between Rifle Something CO and Price UT at 85mph though. It was 55 degrees up at the top of the mountains. Dom enjoyed the mountain passes. They were bored with their DVDs and read books and napped most of the way. We listened to a lot of John Denver, because certain songs go with certain parts of the drive (Country Roads: crossing West Virginia; Matthew: Kansas; Rocky Mountain High: Colorado west of Denver). Dom likes John Denver. Anyway, we're here now. States today: Colorado, Utah. Mileage: 507.
