I was lucky to take several road trips with Robin (mostly in Colorado but was with him in New York and Hawai’i, too). Carbondale was our usual destination, arriving from Telluride or Denver (via Breckenridge to visit with Rooster, or via Leadville and over Independence Pass), or on Amtrak’s California Zepher. The last road trip we took departed Carbondale after Robin’s concert there in August 2019, driving home through the beautiful western desert spaces he loved so much. We stopped for the night in Ely at the oh-so-grand (NOT) Hotel Nevada, at six stories once the tallest building between Denver and San Francisco and we won enough at video poker to have dinner in one of the “cells” of the Jailhouse Casino and Café. At the very end of the trip we took the detour through Marin in order to come into San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge, and marvel at the beauty of our city. We were both very happy to be home but I admit I was sorry the trip was over.
