KOA, Laramie, WY, to KOA, Limon, CO:  Left this morning around 8:00.  Back on I80 heading east again and very quickly started a long pull uphill.  Way up to about 8800 ft. and then leveled out into a big alpine meadow.  Very pretty up there.  We actually drove through a pine forest, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.  At the pretty little town of Cheyenne, WY, we headed south on I25.  Stopped at a Flying J for fuel and breakfast.  I parked in the same area as the semis.  We look so small next to these big rigs.  Had some breakfast and then back on the road.  I continued to drive for another half hour or so and then we switched.  With Wyoming in our rear-view mirror, we continued south on I25 past Ft. Collins and Loveland (really nice) and headed east on the 470 bypass around Denver to I70 east.  I70 through eastern Colorado and all of Kansas is high, arid plains.  Not much out here.  We’re in Limon tonight.  Tomorrow we head to Russell, KS

Love these decorated cowboy boots all over town!
