Its sad that the first time I set foot in Colorado, a place that always seemed about as high as Everest it is actually lower in elevation than the place I have been living. At less than 6000 feet above sea level it is much lower than Chinle. Colorado seems almost as awesome as Utah, with a lot of cool people and nice breweries, as well as amazing scenery. This morning I hiked a little in Arches and got to see some pretty surreal rock formations. I decided to err on the side of caution and avoid the long strenious trail to get underneath delacate arch (the most famous of the arches) instead I went up the viewpoint trail and was kind of disappointed. I guess that just makes a reason to go back. Afterward I headed down through the beautiful Utah countryside and into Colorado. I stopped at an Irish pub in Cortez, CO and got a bratwurst burrito made with cajun sausage, is that confusing enough for you? I figure that now is an appropriate time to fill everyone in with the rules for Burritos across the US.
1. Its a Burrito, not a wrap, a taco, a taquita, a chalupa, a gordita, a chinchilla, or anything else, Burrito.
2. No drive throughs, I dont eat fast food so that rules out Taco Bell
3. Your feet must be on the ground when you eat it, no just sitting in the car and eating it
4. New Jersey doesnt count, NJ is not a state so it doesnt count
Today makes 23 states and the principality of NJ. I will hopefully get 10 or so more on the trip home, I hope to complete the tour within a few years.
Tomorrow I will be going heading to the 4 corners and possibly Mesa Verde national park then back to Chinle. I would like to thank everyone who has been giving me feedback on the blog and following the trip. I really appreciate it.
