Living Through the Windshield


Where do I start telling you of the adventure that is driving across the country? Driving in the rain, watching the landscape changing before you eyes, those middle of the night-central Kansas-don't stare hypnotics, I don't know just what it is. You'll find yourself spotting a cell tower and seeing how long until you pass it (sometimes it could be 10-15 minutes). Keep rolling. And then the sunrises again and it's like walking into a different room. Here in Eastern Colorado it is the beauty of openness that make you fell like a kid at Christmas seeing things for the first time.
This picture is probably 25 hours into the trip, this is Eastern Colorado and the hill in the distance? That's Pike's Peak. Been there, done that.

Yes Pikes peak have done that, it is a nice mountain. Now on the other hand isn't Kansas a lovely state to drive thru......

They need to break up Kansas into two or three different states so it doesn't take as long to drive through it. We seem to hit it at night which doesn't help.
