Channelling our inner Dorothy...


With our eye on the prize of officially being "out west" when we hit the Colorado line, we struck out after a delicious breakfast with Raven.  Kansas was no joke- straight, flat, and fairly uninteresting.  Except for the roadside attractions like World's Largest Prairie Dogs, a six-legged steer, and a multitude of anti-abortion signs.  Once we hit Colorado, the sun was setting behind the Front Range and we were tired but happy to have made this milestone.  We trucked it up to Leadville to stay with Chris and enjoyed many $1 mugs of microbrews at "the Scar", a few games of pool, and a delicious pizza in the country's highest town (10,200 ft!).  We both think that Leadville is a place that we want to come back to to explore more :)
