Howdy Folks!
I met up with a fellow OC'er from Grand Junction by virtue of travelling across the state to meet up and enjoy lunch with him. F350 is a most congenial gentleman who we enjoyed meeting and sharing a late lunch at the Golden Corral. He was sporting a 1911 worn strong side, and I was toting my Judge worn in a cross draw holster as we dined and chatted about a wide range of topics.
I'd studied up on the area because I wanted to try out my newly acquired 2008 Jeep Liberty on some back country trails. One I'd been reading about is called the Black Ridge Trail. F350 guided us to the Colorado National Monument and I bought myself a card that will grant me access to any national park anywhere in the United States and good for the rest of my life to have free entry foro the same $10 bucks it would have cost if I'd just decided to pay for the single day of entry to the park. Tough call, but I made an executive decision and bought the card!
We parted company after seeing some marvelous sites... and sights... on our way up into the monument mesa. Thanks and a tip of the Stetson to F350 for being hospitable to us on that trip. After saying our goodbyes, the wife and I were soon bouncing down Black Ridge Trail in hopes of seeing the natural stone arches which exist there in a place called Rattlesnake Canyon. I never did find that freaking canyon, but did enjoy the back country anyhow.
The first video seen below is about that adventure.
