In the Words of Red Leader, "Almost There..."

We made our way out of Nebraska and through Wyoming, stopping at IHOP in Cheyenne for a late breakfast of steak tips and eggs with jelly donut pancakes.  Damn!  I AM on vacation!
Not far into Colorado we scooted our butts over to Loveland and took the Big Thompson Canyon road up to Estes Park.  It was wayyy too HOT to stay in the plains any longer!  The smoke we saw from the visitor's center turned out to be all we saw the whole time in Colorado.  Good thing.
