Day 3 - Columbia,MO to Golden, CO


After stopping at a Columbia store for sandwich supplies we were off to Kansas City, the last city we'd see for a while.















Kansas was actually quite nice. Eastern Kansas was a lot of rolling grassland, it got flatter as we made our way west. There were lots of cows and wind mills everywhere.














Just when you thought that Clearfield, PA's I-80 exit was clearly marked with the 'big coffee pot in the sky', it turns out that there are quite a few of these in Kansas.


















As the sun set, we were STILL in Kansas.














At long last we saw the Denver lights. A burger and a beer was very necessary upon arrival in the western suburbs.














Our sunrise view from the hotel gave us our first glimpse of mountains after all of the flat we'd experienced since leaving Pennsylvania.
