I found the Colorado River so amazing, Chris was able to tell me all about it. The headwater of the Colorado River are in the Rocky Mountain National Forest, the headwaters mean that a bunch of little streams from rain and snow run down the mountain slowly forming bigger streams until they all meet together making the Colorado River. We drove along side of it almost all day watching more and more streams run into it, making it wider and wider. The Colorado River's water is what Lake Powell, Lake Mead, and Lake Havasui are all made of, that is so incredible to me. Another interesting fact that I learned about yesterday was about the continental divide that runs along here, all the water that runs out of the mountains to the West of the divide runs into the Pacific Ocean and all the water thats runs off the mountains to the East of the divide runs all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, that is a long way for water to run to the Atlantic Ocean.
Anyway we checked into Dekota RV Resort in Golden, CO. got changed and cleaned up and went to Brandie's house for dinner. She moved her about 1.5 yrs ago and this is the 1st chance I have gotten to see her house, it was really nice.
