Reid's friend Kristin was kind enough to pick us up at the Fairfield Inn this morning and taxi us to the Home Depot/Penske Truck Rental facility in Salt Lake City. It took a while to get all the paper work taken care of before we drove from there over to the home of Reid's former boss, Brandon, to pick up some of Reid's belongings. In short order we had things loaded and we were on the road heading south to I-70 and then east. We made a stop at a Walmart to stock up on road-trip necessities - food and water - and then several more during the day for fuel and stretch breaks. Around 8:00pm, just as it was getting dark, we arrived at the home of Reid's good friend Ken in Leadville, Colorado. Ken was another helpful soul and the pile of Reid's "stuff" that Ken had been storing was quickly loaded into the back of the truck. The last 100 or so miles of the trip will likely the most scenic of our trip. This section of Colorado is gorgeous! We settled for the night at the Super-8 Motel in Leadville and will be on our way again in the morning. The ride in the Penske truck has been very comfortable. It's almost new with only about 4000 miles on it when we picked it up, but we miss the ammenities of the RV!
