We’re not in Kansas Anymore
Over the past three weeks we have traveled over 2500 miles through what I would call hills and low mountains and across the flat plains. Todays journey would be different. North along the west edge of greater Denver to I70 and then west. Denver is the ‘Mile High City’ but not much more. It gets snow but lot for an extended time. Much like Reno. As soon as you get west of Denver though you start going up, and up, and up. Eventually the road goes through Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel. A mile long tunnel over 11,000 feet above sea level. Definitely not Kansas. We timed weather just right. Light overcast and dry road. We went through several stages of autumn color. Early change to prime in Denver. Many bare trees over the summit. Prime coming down the west of the Rockies. Early to no change in western Colorado. 260 some odd miles and we are now in Grand Junction.
