Pacific Northwest; Day 18
The weather started today like it was most of the day, cloudy with light rain. We departed our motel in Fort Collins, CO at 9:00 and the temperature was 47 degrees. We drove east on Hwy 14. Due to the weather we could not take one last look at the mountains and Chris was a little sad that there would be no more aspens to see this year. 😒
In Ault, CO we saw this scenic byway sign and wondered how in the world a route across eastern Colorado could be scenic.
It ended up being a route through grasslands with prong-horned antelope all over the place.
Along Hwy 14 we also saw a feedlot for sheep. Neither of us had ever seen that before.
At Sterling, CO we turned south on Hwy 61 and we soon came across a field of sunflowers. Where I stopped to take pictures there were these two pretty youngsters standing with a whole field of senior citizens.
At Otis, CO we turned eastbound on Hwy 34, but before we did I photographed the city limit sign and the water tower. Otis is one of the nicknames we have for our youngest son, Bryan. 😇
In Yuma, CO we stopped at Woody's for a lunch of fried chicken, fries and coleslaw. It was tasty! Hwy 34 continued east into the southwest corner of Nebraska. We thought of our Husker neighbor and friend, Joyce.
At Haigler, NE we turned southbound on Hwy 27. At St. Francis, KS we turned eastbound on Hwy 36 and at Atwood, KS we turned south and drove to Colby, where we stopped for the day. We arrived at 4:15 after driving 300 miles. Our high temperature today was 55 degrees.
