Saturday was Truck and Treat at Fruita, where the GMJC handed out pounds and pounds of candy to the area trick or treaters, who came out to spend the morning with us. Thanks to all who participated in this! Next was our annual Lost in the Desert Run. We ran from Fruita to Hwy 139, and all the way to 27 1/4 Road. Over 14 miles as the crow flies, but our crow was having a bad day, and zigged and zagged, and flew for several hours. Thanks to Rick for being a great trip leader, and never making us lost (for very long). The heavy rains in the area a week before made some drainage crossings pretty interesting. But no one had to be pulled or pushed, and everyone held together. Our next stop was at the Grand Mesa Jeep Club shade structure at the Proving Grounds at 27 1/4 Road. To end the day, there was a Hot dog roast and potluck that riveled a meal fit for a king, (who likes hotdogs). Thanks to everyone who brought out food, and enjoyed some time with us. We hope you will join us next year because we will do it again!
