Fun Stuff Along the Way

Most of today was spent in the car on the road. We drove half way across Colorado and most of the way across Nebraska to get from Denver to Lincoln. Much of the travel looked something like this. We continued to see wind turbines as we crossed both states. We also saw lots of cattle […]
