not much tonight....blogging tonight from a Radisson hotel room in Denver, CO. We rolled out of my place at 6:16 central time this morning and pulled in here at around 6 p.m. mountain time tonight. We'll get up tomorrow and drive another hour west to a condo in Dillon, CO.
The drive through Kansas wasn't so bad. It was lots of rolling hills and farm fields. I did wave as we passed the exit to Ogden! We saw lots of snow along the way. Really odd was the several herds of antelope that were grazing within sight of the interstate near the KS/CO border. Evidently they're not supposed to be so close to civilization. This excited my dad, who was a biology teacher many moons ago.
Irony: the air temperature was 14 degrees at dawn in MO and it's in the 40s here... My traveling companions are really hypeing the scenery to come.
Odd Kansas fact....there is some town (I forget which one; they blurred together after a while) where you can see the world's biggest prairie dog and a six-legged steer. I regret we didn't have time to stop.
Posts will be sporadic this week (so what else is new?) as I encounter wi-fi access.

you will never guess where kevin and laurie are! they are on their way home from colorado tomorrow! they went skiing with the youth group from their church that they are assistant leaders of. i haven't heard form them so i don't know how it's gone but i am very excited to hear about it. by the way, aren't those hills near ogden the weirdest ugliest hills you have ever seen? man it is nothing but bleak out there in the winter! have fun and stay safe!
