Job Corps

We travelled up to Grand Junction to stay with our friend Linda. Always a great night, fab food, lots of travel stories. John joined us after his stint at air traffic control finished and we imbibed a few wines together before heading off sleepily to bed.

Next morning we were off to Roger's final research school. A really interesting place. Vocational training is at the heart of this residential school for "at risk" kids. The rules and consequences were tough, but it really is the last chance for many of them to get any sort of education and to keep out of jail! Interesting but sad to hear some of the student's stories.

Crossing over the mountains to Grand Junction had been snowy and icy but weren't prepared for the 12 inches of snow and froaen lakes that greeted us as Colbran. Linda had been working at the school too on a "Kids Voting" project which is designed to develop interest at an early age in the voting system.

At the turning to Moab we parted company, will catch up with her on Sunday as we stay over before heading back to Sunny Gunni!
