Great Sands dunes National Park!

     We got up and left our motel in Utah at 8:30 am. We drove to the Sand Dunes in Colorado. It was a nice drive with some nice scenery. We got to the Dunes around 3:30 pm. We went out on the dunes for about 2 hours, then we drove on up to Colorado Springs where we are now. 

     We got an Extended Stay Motel for One night. It has 2 double beds, 2 burner stove, toaster, microwave, coffee and coffee pot, refrigerator, cabinets and pots and pans, oh, and dishes too. We got the room for $48.00 and change, can't beat that deal.
