Day 2

The Road to Colorado

We left Richfield without getting gas.  Big mistake.  We ended up in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone reception on "E".  We had to take a side trip to a town 25 miles off the highway to find gas.  It wasn't looking good, I was pretty scared, and Fred and I both thought that he would have to skate to the gas station.  We couldn't see a town anywhere, and we were traveling down a tiny road that was pretty hilly, so with each hill we held our breath that we would see the town on the other side.  Somehow, we made it. 

The teensy tiny little town that we made it to had some pretty prehistoric gas pumps.  Randy's.  I'll never forget that gas station.  Emery, UT.

Charlie didn't even notice.

Utah was beautiful.

Devil's Canyon

Colorado River!

Mosquitos!!!

Waterfalls!

Tunnels!!!

We stayed the night in Denver with my friend Kailee and her boyfriend.  For some reason, I didn't take any pictures of that.  Lame.  Anywho, her boyfriend had the same gas station story as us.  At the same station and everything, but heading in the other direction.  Randy's must get a lot of that.  Denver was really beautiful and old.  Fred skated at their new park and loved it so much that he had to go back in the morning and skate it again. (Side note: we ran into some kids from San Marcos when we stopped for dinner in Utah the first night.  They had just come from Colorado and told Fred that he HAD to skate that park- he wouldn't regret it.)
