day #2 - state #5!

hello!

First off, I need to explain how this is getting to you!

As we are cheep, we are staying here, for $44.99.
But this means no frills like the ingernet.


but before we checked in, we drove around and found
exactly what rooms we would need so that we could steal wifi from:


Where the rooms were $89.99.
Notice the white pikuptruck and pops standing in the door of our room!
(is internet theft as bad as cable theft?)

Moving on! On our drive today, we ended up in a small town named Fruita, Colorado.

Their claim to fame is they've found LOADS of bones/fossils/other goodz in this area!

We stopped by the 'DINOSAUR JOURNEY MUSEUM'. Some pictures!


Earthquake simulator!!!
woofer makes noise, floor shakes, earth splits!! good fun!

A robot t-rex!!! it's got two joysticks (like robotron 2048!)
that you use to move it around and make it bite!

and of course, a raptor!!!
didn't realize how small they really were.
it was only about 3 foot long.

---------------

next was a 1/2 mile uphill hike to a cemetery in the hills of Glenwood Springs.

you'll never guess who we found up there!


back down the hill and it's nap time!
me in the pickup and dad in the park
w/ a furny pad and a popular mechanics. :-)


next back on the 70 folowing the colorado river and onwards to denver, where we are now!

tomorrow, we're going to go to some car museums in Denver and then head east.

that's it for today!

Do you think Steven Speilberg has a small penis? That might explain the exaggeration on the velocirapotor size...
