Road Trip Day 4


We're in the Colorado Rockies, having put almost five hundred miles on today.  Two touristy stops - a buffalo made of barbed wire, and the Cathedral Rocks in Kansas, which were the highlight of the day.  Not very touristy, as we had to wind down a dirt road for seven miles before we found them.  Nothing around for miles.  No other cars, no people, just the wind and some cows.  
Then across some lonely roads in dark, dreary Kansas, not meeting another car for miles and alternating between flat, flat lands and long, low hills.  The minute we hit Colorado, the sun came out and we started climbing.  And climbing.  Fifty miles away, we saw Pike's Peak.  Dinner was in Colorado Springs inside a beached fighter jet turned restaurant.  Pretty cool.  So that makes three touristy things, though I'm not going to count the rocks.
Tomorrow, the Grand Canyon then Sedona.
