Long road trip day today. The blog will be short tonight because my notes for the day are in the car and I am not going out there to get them! Our route for the day was mostly off the Interstate highways so we got to see a bit more of "small town America".
We saw numerous cattle and feedlots...no wonder every restaurant has good steaks. Sights also included pheasant, llama, horses, and a number of dead deer on the road. One narrowly missed Gary & Kathy's car today.
The terrain changed quite a bit from the flat land of the Kansas prairie to the foothills of the Rockies. Denver even had patches of snow on the ground. Apparently, they are having spring weather...one day 80 and the next day snowing.
Our group was so looking forward to spending the night at Ted & Joan's daughter and son-in-law's house near Denver. But a family emergency called them away to North Dakota so we just "visited" their beautiful home briefly and dropped off a couple of things. We were disappointed along with them, but we got to meet their neighbor, Russ, and look for the hide-a-key. NOPE, we didn't find the key.
We are staying in a north suburb of Denver tonight and will continue up I25 I think and then head west of I80 tomorrow.
Ted and Joan did a great job of navigating. Many praises for safety in travel and weather. We are all just hoping that we don't get any surprise tickets in the mail when we get home for running rather "orange" stop lights. It can be difficult to follow in town with three cars trying to make the left hand turn lights! Gary is thinking it is a good thing he doesn't have a front license plate to show up in the stop light photos!
Buenos Noches from Denver, Colorado
