Memorial Day in Fruita is sunny and beautiful! Its been about 2 months since my journey began and it seems time to take the next step. Step 1 consisted of leaving cold, snowy, Denver; figuring out the Airstream life: and enjoying the western outdoors. Been there, done that:)
Enjoying the western outdoors will hopefully continue, but it seems ripe to enter a new phase or start the next step in my journey. Time to start focusing on whether and where to settle down and the spiritual part of my journey - being present.
To this end, I drove around Fruita today; nice little town. A quiet town about 4400 feet AMSL with an agricultural base/history, Fruita seems to be trying to diversity. Seems there is an emphasis on attracting mountain bikers; not sure why. The town is near the western entrance to the Colorado National Monument; the latter seems to be a favorite playground for locals. Like a lot of small, agricultural towns, housing is mixed from block to block. There are several houses with 1+ acre lots that include irrigation water; real estate prices are surprisingly inflated.
Will be moving on to Montrose and Gunnison from here.
