    Notice the color of the earth and mountains....Utah is red and orange/red...this is most assuredly I-40 as I said...also take note of the scrub trees...foliage will confirm the difference. On the left side of the highway you will see Joshua trees....none of them in the UT/CO desert area.:biggrin_25514:

    I'm in Colorado as well. Made my delivery now sitting at the TA to get the truck serviced. Then I need to find a place to get the trailer washed out.
