Fruita - Oct 7 2007

words and photos by Sharon Bader and Lee Lau unless otherwise noted.


We mosied on into Grand Junction from the deserts of Moab on Friday night. The forecast was for rain... and rain it did. bummer.


You could see the rays of Sunshine in the back teasing us getting us out to see if we could get a ride in!
Lee!


The rays didn't last. Carl on the Lunch Loop trails.



Yes the weather socked us in. Now we just want to get off these trails!


The man train

The next day the weather was much better. We met with Gary from SLC who was riding in Fruita with some other friends. We checked out a new area - Westwater.


The group!

On the edge of the Mesa overlooking the Colorado River, the Kokopelli trail is down there somewhere!
