We had two choices for the trip home. We could go all the way back to Fruita, a journey of about 360 miles using the U.S. 89 and I-70 route, or we could stop for the night midway and break up the drive into two parts. We chose the latter, reserving a night’s stay at the KOA in Green River, Utah, 90 miles from home.

It’s a nice enough RV park, but it is an RV park. We had an acceptable site with full hookups and a lot of empty space around.

A nice thing about the Green River KOA is that it sits next to a restaurant named for a loathsome, difficult to kill, invasive riverside weed. In spite of its disgusting name, we enjoyed a breakfast there that started with hot chocolate, coffee and a giant cinnamon roll.

Eggs and omelette followed.
