Day 0 - The Utah Saga Begins

 On Monday Oct 14, I boarded a plane in Cleveland, Ohio. Bob boarded a plane in Eugene, Oregon. We were both headed to the  Denver, Colorado airport. 

Goodbye Cleveland and Lake Erie

From there, we boarded our flight to Grand Junction, Colorado. Meanwhile, in 1988, then colleague David left Milwaukee, Wisconsin to live and work in Grand Junction. He and I worked closely together at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and were best of friends.

  Here we are in a 1988 group photo. David met us at the Grand Junction airport. We had not seen each  other for 36 years. David was the perfect host for a night. The next morning, he dropped us at the airport so we could pick up our rental car. We would spend two days and nights with David after our photo adventure. So, the morning of Oct 15, we were off to Hanksville, Utah, and the adventure began immediately.
