Steamboat went well. It was a new client, our first in the Northern part of
the state. Talked to a couple other potential clients while we were there.
The weather cooperated. Again. Storms move through Colorado, mostly from
west to east, and you never know for sure where they'll hit. The weathermen
make some pretty good guesses. They're so much better than they used to be.
The tools they get to use are a whole lot better. Storms don't pop up over
the horizon and surprise them anymore. Anyway, there has been a lot of
weather in the mountains, and we've been in the mountains almost the whole
time since January. We expect to get grounded by weather a few times in our
travels. We're ready to just wait it out and drive another day. So here we
are, mentally prepared for weather days. We've had some showers and
flurries, but nothing serious. We keep moving on to good weather while the
place we were at the week before gets pounded. Steamboat Springs got two
feet of snow the week before we got here. We had sun and flurries while we
were there.
The job is done. Time to head for Durango, our next job, so we drove three
hundred miles from Steamboat to Moab. Moab isn't perfectly on a line
between Steamboat and Durango, but if you drive to Moab from Steamboat
Springs, you're within a half-day drive of Durango. We drove to Moab
because the weather forecast predicted eighty degrees. That sounded good.
We got our eighty degrees. We got up in Steamboat Thursday morning at
twenty-five degrees and drove to eighty degrees in Moab.
