Salida, CO to Westcliffe, CO

The Hall family at First Baptist in Salida are awesome!! They went out of their way to host us. This morning we were treated to a fantastic breakfast at a local dinner. We went back for 9:00 worship and after the service we were able to chat with many folks who prayed for our trip. We had lunch with the Hall's and chatted until 3:00 pm when we said our goodbyes and saddled up for Westcliffe. We had a very unfriendly greeting as we left town...a nasty 10-20 mph headwind... the entire way! We were also shocked with the difficult elevation (another 1,500 ft up). But God is faithful and we arrived a the First Baptist Church in Westcliffe just past 8:00. The staff was gone but they left the door to their children's ministry building unlocked for us. We hope to get a good night's rest before another 1,200 ft climb tomorrow. The good news is...were through the mountains! We will enjoy a 4,000 ft descent into Pueblo. Pray for us!
