we got a pretty early start for us today... 9 am. i couldn't get online at the campground so we set out for the next Flying J for breakfast and uploading. here's some pics from the high plains of CO. pretty flat, huh? much flatter than KS.
we also decided not to go through the mountains on US highway 40 with the trailer. so we headed for Denver and then the plan is to go north to Cheyenne, WY and catch Rte. 80 west. that'll lead us back to our planned route in Salt Lake City.
when we got to the "J", we unloaded the bikes and took them on a little side trip to Boulder, CO.
that was really fun. we got some great shots of the mtns, the boulder creek running through town and there was a farmeres market that we just hit the tail end of. so much of the tail end that most of them were packing up. but here are some pics of that, too.
we had lunch at the teahouse which was a gift from a sister town in tajikastan (i think that's right) the arcitecture and sculpture were beautiful. and the food was excellent!
we got back on time but then my tie downs jammed and then broke and i had to get some more, which put us about an hour off so we only made it as far as Rawlins, WY for the night. we have about 100 miles to add to day 4. we can do it.

oooh wow - that is beautiful!! Tea in teahouse in a place called (er) Tajikastan? : )
I didn't realize that there was a place flatter than Kansas - smile. Actually, I did know that ... it is called the Nevada desert! A place that has a distinctly disarming feature where distance traveled is difficult to estimate - you feel like you are driving in place! : )
