Flat land
Kansas is flat. So is eastern Colorado.
Yesterday was sunny and bright all day. Nice change from the day before. The wind was also different. Instead of from the southeast it was from the north. 20+mph. Gusts to 35mph. We were going west. That equals 200+ miles of steady crosswind. My right arm got a cramp from holding the carbus against the wind. Stayed in a campground in a small town on the Kansas prairie. Winds eventually died down which allowed the temperature to drop to 35 degrees last night.
This morning was overcast but no wind. Stayed that way through western Kansas and eastern Colorado. Long straight road through the flat prairie but good road and no wind. We are now on the west side of Pueblo, CO. Still flat but can see the Rockies. They had a dusting of snow last night (since gone) and possible inch tomorrow night. Plan to stay in Denver area a day or two. Will have to watch weather and road conditions a bit closer as we plan to head west.
