Made it to Colorado!

It was a humid 22C at 7am, with some fog at first. We got to Kearney as planned, and went through the Archway tour. It was an interesting walkthrough.



By the time we got into Colorado (CO), it was warm and sunny. It reached 39C (yes 102F!) later on, but a lot drier than the morning. Elevation steadily rose as we went. We were amazed at the number of feedlots in CO, for cattle and for bison.

We're camped in a park in Estes Park for tonight. It's a resort town, just outside Rocky Mountain Natl Park, where we're going to try to go tomorrow. As we arrived here, so did a storm - big raindrops, gusty winds. Sure glad we're not in a tent!
