Day one is behind us and we have made it through New Mexico and to Denver. We were able to have breakfast with Dad in Santa Fe and then spent the night with Tom and Leslie in Parker. Good to see family. Harrys Roadhouse in Santa Fe had wonderful French Toast and Chilitiquos. That place was PACKED. Denver area had some tornados as we were coming in, so we were able to take our time and deviate onto Colorado 83 through Colorado Springs and Parker. It was a nice drive that gave a hint of what the area open spaces were like. Lots of McMansions for sale north of Colorado Springs. Thanks to all our hosts this trip this far!
Today we picked up 25 and headed to Ft. Collins. Tom suggested taking US 287 into Wyoming and that’s what we are on now. We’ve encountered our first clouds and we are driving through up here. The fields look like they are growing rock in this light.
Molli is settling into the drive. She’s not thrilled with the winding roads, but we are finding plenty of places to stop and let her out to walk and some places to let her run.
We ended up in Buffalo Wyoming this evening. The rain followed us through the pass and is even raining now. I enjoyed watching the edge of the storm move across the sky Molli and I were able to take a short hike down the Clear Creek hiking trail. She spent an awful lot of time sniffing out a trail for us. It was good to stretch and to see the great rocks. Buffalo has some great history and all of it’s downtown is on the National Register of Historic Districts. http://www.buffalowyoming.org/
Hope the weather clears a bit for more around town in the morning.
Pictures to follow.
