Jim and John spent the day climbing the beautiful Rocky Mountains, through Glenwood Canyon and into Grand Junction, Colorado on the western slope of the Rockies.  We met the Pedens (John's cousins for lunch in town and then kidnapped Jamie to lead us through the amazing Colorado National Monument. Also, our blog now has pictures thanks to Kay Renck insistence and Jamie's brilliaant technological skills.  It has been a wonderful day of discovery!  Enjoy the pix, Kay!
