Traveling through New Mexico and Utah

Most of our driving through northwest New Mexico was dull and uneventful. We crossed a small section of Colorado before crossing the Utah border.  In Colorado, we were lucky enough to drive through Cortez, home of the annual Arsenault family reunion.  We were also lucky enough to drive through Dove Creek where Alice Marie DENNISON Arsenault was born.  There was a lot of snow on the ground but the roads were clear and 99% dry.  Driving through Utah is always a pleasure; the landscapes are simply beautiful.
We enjoyed flat land views such as this one and what I truly enjoyed is driving through the mountains.  There are many twists and turns and unique stops as the road takes me up into the mountains and back down on the other side.

Traffic starts to build from about Provo and increases the closer we get to Salt Lake City.  With six and seven lanes of highway, I turn the driving over to Jocelyn.  We made it to our hotel, the Plaza Hotel, with no problem and after a dinner at Squatters Pubs ,we are ready to call it a night
