California Trip; Days 16 and 17
On Saturday, June 26, we departed Steamboat Springs, CO at 8:00 am. It was sunny and 57 degrees. We rode east on Hwy 24 to Kimmerling for a bathroom break and then to Granby for gas. Near the gas station was a jerky, fur, and antler chandelier vendor. They had a bear skin outside and other types of skins inside. It was interesting. From Granby we rode north into Rocky Mountain National Park. The views were fantastic. We knew from watching the news the night before that there was a forest fire in Rocky Mountain National Park. On the way out of the park riding toward Loveland, CO we saw and smelled smoke from the forest fire. We ate lunch at the Dari Delite in Loveland and then gassed up in Fort Morgan, CO. We rode east into Nebraska and then south to Goodland, KS, where we spent the night at the Days Inn. We rode 420 miles and the high temperature was 90. On Sunday, June 27, we took off from Goodland on our final day of the trip. It was mostly sunny and 66 degrees. Bef
