We arrived at Rifle Gap State Park, CO on September 18. This is one of our favorite places - great views, mountains, lake, close to Grand Junction, CO to the West and Glenwood Springs, CO to the East. We stayed here 9 nights, with four of those spent with the Colorado Chapter of the Heartland Owners Club. Heartland is the manufacturer of our Big Horn 5th wheel trailer and State chapters host Campouts and Rallies throughout the year. Last year we attended five of these; this year Colorado was our first, but we have one scheduled to attend in Arizona mid October, and one in New Mexico at the end of October. These are fun getting together with folks who share the same love of RV'ing and the lifestyle.

| Lunch one day at "Shooters" - the waitresses carry pistols and the Restaurant also hosts Handgun Training courses to qualify you for a concealed carry permit. Their food was good too! (Salt and Pepper shakers are shotgun shells) |
After Rifle, we travelled West to Green River, Utah - The Watermelon Capital of the World. Actually, there are six other places in the USA who make the same claim, but the Green River folks believe it!
When I posted our location on Facebook our son Daniel posted that he knew someone who Lives in Green River, UT from several years ago when he travelled there. Amanda saw the post and said she was working that night at Rays Tavern, so we looked it up and it was less than a mile from our campground so we drove over for dinner and met her. Nice lady and we were glad we went. Rays is a family tavern and it was packed with people of all ages. We sat at the bar to avoid a long wait and had one of the best burgers we've ever had.
Today (Sept 25) we drove 48 miles to Arches National Park. First time for this park and boy it's beautiful! Look for yourself at these pics:

This is the wall where the Petroglyphs are located. The cliff wall runs about a mile or so along the roadway. I didn't get a pic, but there were rock climbers on the way to the top.

| This sign says no climbing at this spot due to the rock art. |
In a couple days, we'll be heading South to Cedar City, UT then Las Vegas where we'll win a bunch of moola..........
Your published blog has massive information about different places. You describe in a good way and I hope this information will be helpful during my trip with my uncle by grand teton tour package. I would like to say that such kind of blogs motivate to others to visit the different places.
