Limon, CO

We made it to Colorado! So far it looks a lot like Kansas. We went to a Methodist Church this morning. It was a different tradition than either of us were familiar with. It was also very small. We are definitely out of the bible belt. But we were able to worship, and that was the point!

The land is still pretty flat.

We have driven past more corn than I knew was possible!

And we are seeing many farms.

Apparently I’m fond of barns!

There were cattle! (I really like the clouds in this pic.)

And horses!

We also saw tons of windmills, the great big ones.

And it was very hot! the hottest I’ve ever been in.

In fact, our windshield was cracked this morning when we first got in the car. We think it was from the heat. We have been keeping one window slightly open now. We should have remembered to do that, but hindsight is 20/20! Tomorrow we are headed to Kremmling, CO. We will be able to see the Rockies from there!

  2. In early April of 1988, there was a blizzard in Limon CO that made it impossible to drive on the interstate. Cars were sliding all over. A couple of newlyweds were trying to get to Nebraska late at night but were forced to pull off and seek shelter in Limon. All of the hotels and motels were full, but there were several churches that had opened their doors for travelers. The couple followed a line of cars to a Catholic church where they slept on the floor with quite a few other people. The next morning, the storm was past and the roads were plowed, so they traveled under sunny blue skies to McCook, NE, where they held a 2nd wedding with the husband’s family. Fond memories of Limon hospitality, and a bit of fear of traveling there in the springtime. 🙂

  4. That is a lot of corn and fields!

    Are you stopping in the Rockies or just viewing from afar?

    Some barns are very cool. I like the old delapidated ones.

    Almost home!!!
