Day 2: Richfield, UT to Limon, CO 556 miles

Hello everyone, this is Patricia... Sam is still looking up sights to see for our foray into the Land of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz (Kansas for those of you not catching the heavy handed literary allusion). Our day started out chilly but clear; we headed out towards Denver. We stopped to see the Tale of Mike the Headless Chicken in Fruita, alas we discovered only a metal sculpture... We documented that. We DID find a really cool Dinosaur Van (see photo)and that made us smile.

Next up we viewed the Salt Flats... Idiots, uh, brave pioneers settled and eked out a bare existence there before wising up and moving along to arable parts of the country. We found the buffalo sculpture made out of chrome car bumpers in Grand Junction, CO.... Would like to spend some time there. We ate out of our well stocked cooler - turkey and provolone, chips and pickles. Yum.

We pushed on through the Rockies (Sam driving) in the rain, construction, lots of 18 wheelers and broken down vehicles. She saw the Continental Divide, I was taking a nap. We stopped to get a quick peek at Buffalo Bill Cody's grave and then into Denver for quick pics of Mile High Stadium and the Capitol Building. I was a spoilsport and we didn't get out to wander around... Will hear about that for many a year I've no doubt. Sorry Sam

The rain persisted in an unrelenting and most inhospitable manner dogging us until we came to rest here in Limon. We are beat and are hitting the hay to prepare for our day tomorrow. Will add photos another day... They'll be worth the wait. That buffalo is really shiny and cool. Good Night all!
