From Colorado to Missouri

Here are some pictures of our trip on Friday, 900 miles. It was 2350 miles from the Pacific Coast, in northern Ca. to our house here in Mo.
This is what we had once we got back on I-70 Friday about noon.



This was not the word I was thinking of when we left Colorado.




Nearly every well was pumping. Lots of new pumps too.


I think Kansas gets a bad rap. The 400 mile drive is not that boring. Lots of high rolling plains. Just enough to keep a motorhome from operating in "cruise" mode. The car handles the inclines just fine.



New windmills just west of Abilene, Ks.








Look what Teri found growing in our yard when we pulled in. She had to clip some and bring inside the house.
We drove 1450 miles in 25 hours. Too long, especially the last 2 hours in the blizzard conditions. It was total whiteout when we stopped and checked into the motel in Limon, Co.
900 miles the second day was not a bad trip at all. Weather was good with no precip. Strong winds and lots of overcast but hey, that was a breeze compared to where we had been the day before.
One thing we noticed on our trip home was the traffic was very light. Saw few trucks the whole way home. The ones we saw were trying to get over that pass. I do not know why the traffic was so light but it was. Maybe folks are going on strike due to the high fuel prices.
It does feel good to be home but I miss our coach. I will be ready to hit the road again long before Teri allows us to go. We do have a trip scheduled in 2 weeks. Heading to Alabama where Teri will visit with my cousin while my brother and I go to the Nascar race near Birmingham. Make sure that you keep linked to us here. There should be some interesting things popping up from time to time.
As always, thanks for the visit. We appreciate everyone that drops in and the time we spend together.
Dan
