Left Lincoln , and this am and traveled through 5 states today! Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois then stopped for the night in terra haute, Indiana! What a long day!, saw lots of corn and far fields throughout every state, much smaller farms than the ones we saw in Colorado & Nebraska. Spotted a plane crop dusting and one being prepped for dusting at a small airstrip. Crossed the Missouri River a couple of times and the Mississippi once again as we headed...

Left the Rocky Mountains today, a winding road down from the mountains, followed a swollen river out of the cliff lined path, spotted big horn sheep as they grazed their way across the rocks! Not 30 miles East from our last campground, the lands were almost flat!, amazing, we were suddenly surrounded by vast farmfields! As we made our way out of Colorado and into Nebraska, we continued to see farmfields, expansive beef ranches and huge dairy farms! I have neve...

Slept in this am! Felt good! Rv repair guy came around 11 am, so kids & I headed to the local fun park.

Ventured into RMNP, soooo beautiful!! Followed trail ridge road, which takes you 48 miles thru the park if you follow it all the way. We went about half way which led us on twisty, winding roads past vistas, each more stunning than the previous, past the tree line, kept short by the 100 mph winter winds, up to the tundra where the elk and big horn sheep play!( not today though). We did see a couple of marmoset sunning on the rocks!! We walked to a peak at abou...

We left Utah, with sadness in our hearts, well, mine anyways!! On to Colorado and RMNP!! The temperature was creeping back up to the 100's as we rolled along the dusty desert highway! There was not much color in the hills until we started getting closer to Colorado and started climbing the mt roads. The structure of the hills didn't seem to change much, they just became more and more green, the shrubs changed to trees and before you knew it we were atop the M...
