Out of Kansas and into Colorado.

After a fun time in Dodge City, KS we headed out to Lamar, CO. No internet there due to storms the day before. They also had some power problems but our site checked out good. The RV park was one of the rustic ones that we seem to favor. Everything was clean and neat, just no concrete slabs to park on. Here I am taking a picture of Lydia taking a picture of the great sky.

We had a great time at the Big Timbers Museum in Lamar. Some very nice displays about the early days of Lamar and a big massacre at Sandy Hill back in the 1800's. We are really having a ball at these small town museums and learning quite a bit about the areas we are visiting.

We did have a big thunderstorm pass us to the North and another to the South which gave us a little trepidation being so out in the open as we were.



Then we left Lamar for Limon, CO and another wonderful little museum, the Limon Heritage Museum. There was even a nice display brought in from the Smithsonian for our viewing pleasure. After leaving the museum a massive thunderstorm was fast approaching so we headed for the RV and a small measure of safety at the campground office if needed. Again we got lucky and the storm passed us to the North.

No special birds to report at either of these locations and I was surprised that we never saw a single antelope along the way.

We are off to Littleton, CO for our last relative visit with Lydia's cousins and a stay at Chatfield State Park. More to come and 1600 miles to go before home.
