It went down to 28 degrees last night, but again we stayed
comfortable in our 2014 Sprinter motorhome.
We are on the road at 8:30AM under cloudy skies. The signs along the highway entertain
us: “See the largest prairie dog in the
world;” “See live rattlesnakes;” “Pet the baby pig.” We are seeing some green
shoots and finally whole fields of green, maybe winter wheat. The barns painted red give the somber
landscape some color. As we cross into
Colorado, we pass more wind turbines. At
first Colorado looks just like the flat, tan Kansas landscape, but gradually it
gets hilly, with more green fields. It
is sunny, 45 degrees and windy. We get
a warning “Check Diesel Exhaust Fluid.”
At the next truck stop Mike buys DEF and refills it. He says it is easier than refilling
windshield washer fluid. We continue on
I-70 toward Denver, finally seeing the snow-capped mountains in the
distance. We take E-470 around Denver,
arriving at the home of our friends, Steve and Paulette, north of Boulder about
4PM. We go out to dinner at a cute place
in Niwot.
