One foot in front of the other.....keep going ;)
I almost there. Still treading through Kansas. So far it’s been smooth sailing and great weather .
Congrats! Safe travels!
Thanks. Going well. Did the longest day today clocking in about 530 miles. Tomorrow will do about 320 because I am not driving the final 10 hours in one day. Especially in what appears to be some twisty mountain hwy.

What a trip! :p
After beginning the day a few miles on Hwy 70 it was all 2 lane back roads through Miles and miles of open land in wide open west Kansas and eastern Colorado. Over 100 miles on Hwy 40 so much solitude and desolation it was amazing and these roads have no rest stops , no houses, no development but just saturated with great history of long ago. Suddenly about 50 miles on hwy 40 one of those little gems of a museum I have read about before appeared in the middle of nowhere and was a fabulous museum it was! Just our luck the lady working pulled in and opened the door right before we pulled in!! So We had our own personal tour guide and were the only people that were there the entire time. …and there was so much I can’t even begin to tell you about it all. A huge room full of antique refurbished organs, dedication to Roman Nose and other Indian tribal warriors, an old railroad depot building preserved, an old building full of caravans and carriages, an old church, an old fort with bullet holes and a hidden secret floor door to underground tunnels. This buffalo sculpture in the front of the main building was created with one mile worth of barbed wire and the artist didn’t wear gloves while making it .

Awesome pictures thanks for sharing sounds like just what the doctor ordered :hump: :peace:
Thanks Jeff. It’s a pleasure to share some of my views of this spectacular place . Our national parks are so beautiful. If your a vet you get a lifetime free National park pass which is such a nice gift. The parks usually cost around $25 to get in. Bring your papers to the entrance gate along with photo ID and they will issue your pass right on the spot!

Oh not yet! I got as far as possible and down one ladder only to be met by a locked door that I could not get past. To get to walk, climb and crawl through the ruins you need to secure a ticket and reservation . A park ranger then does a guided tour. It’s a seasonal thing. Looks super fun and plan on doing it when available, before it gets too hot. 0A7389DC-197B-4946-97F7-A2F7F045374B.jpegEA0272AB-1AA9-48B1-9818-361D1AB86B28.jpeg0214C56F-1BAB-40AF-8787-C63EFCDBA23D.jpeg
