the great american road trip - day 2


For days we've been without wi-fi. So many adventures - but nowhere to blog - and we have to get back on the road quickly - so here are a few updates.

Most of Thursday was spent in Colorado. We stood at the top of the continental divide and threw snowballs in July. We rode a tram up the Rocky Mountains, and an alpine racer down. Kooka mined for gems, while Punk tried to find his way out of a wild west adventure maze in Glenwood Springs, CO. We drove through the night until we ended up at our cabin in Moab.






The tram stopped halfway up, swaying precariously in the Rocky Mountain wind. We were at least a quarter mile in the air. Both Punk and I enjoyed the ride down much more - reaching closer to safety with each second. THe tram was the only way to get to the adventure park and the Alpine Racers. But as Punk continued to remind us - the best way to conquer fear is to face it. (Pretty sure he got that from Yoda, or Spongebob or something, but it was appropriate advice nonetheless)
