Hey folks--I know its been a long time since I posted anything--been working out of state on navy project and don't have any free time. With the economy the way it is, I guess we're sorta hunkering down and trying to ride out the current situation....anyway we're trying to plan a family vacation out to the grand canyon and then maybe up into Utah & Colorado. So far we have our lodging arranged from FL to Sedona, AZ with one night in Ft. Worth, another in Amarillo and two in Sedona. I've got a few questions that maybe folks along the way (mostly thru Texas) and folks in northern Arizona, Utah & Colorado could answer.
1. We'll be traveling from the Fort Worth area up toward Amarillo for our 2nd night. For now we're figuring on taking 287 up to Amarillo. Is that a good route or is it loaded with stop lights through all the towns? The only other route I could see is taking I-20 west and then pick up 84 and run NW through Lubbock to Amarillo. If any of the Texas folks could weigh in, I'd be grateful...Also, I don"t know of any tractor-related sites along the way, but let me know if any of you know any. We plan to stop at the CTD outdoors place on the NE Loop in Fort Worth. We buy gun supplies from the online CTD store so wanted to check this place out--already heard they weren't connected, but share some of the same inventory.
2. Once we leave Sedona, we're trying to make it up toward Salt Lake via Grand Junction, CO. My daughter wants to ease over toward Red Mesa and then pick up 160 where it crosses four states. Is there a spot on the highway that has a sign or something telling you about this location? Once we get back toward Grand Junction, anyone know of some off the beaten path stuff to see--old iron or not? My wife heard about a steam train and rafting combo thing somewhere too.
3. As to the Salt Lake location, my son wants to go to "Get Some Guns" near Salt Lake City. From there we"ll head back east through Denver and after that we haven"t worked out our route, but will generally head back along I-70 and then I-35 south and maybe head over through Tulsa, OK...
Anyway, sorry for the rambling post--just looking for some local advice along the way for hotel tips, places to see--tractor stuff or other wise..thanks in advance...

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
