Joe looked lovingly at the mountain range. It would not be long before he would be traversing them again. California was loved by many, but his home was Colorado. The highway was bleak, but that would soon change and the green range of the San Juans would be showing. New Mexico is not all a boring beige, but that’s the feeling he gets through these long stretches. Soon the landscape will brighten, not only in scenery, but his spirit of going home.
