Day Four.

Hello all!

We write to you from Grand Junction, Colorado. Home of.....not much! We were fortunate to stay in a hotel last night that had continental breakfast, so we were up and out of the hotel with food in our stomachs by 8:30am. We drove from then until 12pm, where we stopped in Idaho Springs at a small diner called Marions of the Rockies. The food was great, and stop was necessary for the Matrix. For me, this was the most stressful and rewarding drive of our trip so far, as we were attempting to pull 1500lbs behind our 4 cyclinder vehicle up and down the Rockies! We were hardly able to go 50mph without pushing the car to 4000 RPM's. But, we made it here, safe and sound without any car trouble! Praise the Lord for definitely looking after us! Tara played an absolutely crucial role in our trip today, the Photography Co-ordinator, ensuring we captured beautiful images of the Rockies, The Grand Mesa, different Canyons, Tunnels, as well as the Colorado River. We've attached some of her extraordinary pictures for your enjoyment!

Tonight will be a relaxing night as we: swim, eat at a local diner, visit the fitness centre (for me to look around, for her to work out), and head to bed! Tomorrow we plan on driving to St. George, Utah for our LAST night before we arrive at our new home!

Pray for our journey, as we have some hot, long days ahead of us!

Blessings,

Mark.
