Daily Mileage = 625; Trip = 1,825
Today we decided to skip Kansas and head a different way to Colorado rather than end up in a Twister movie!
We drove from OKLA City through the panhandle of Texas into the northwest corner of New Mexico and ended in Pueblo, Colorado. What a ride!! The good news was the weather was really great until the end. Most of the trip looks like these photos. Just lots of grazing land and cattle.
Driving through Texas we didn't see the largest frying pan (apparently there is one there) but we did see the largest cross in the Western hemisphere. It's located around Amarillo.
Finally, we did stop in New Mexico to look at an ancient volcano site which now has plains growing on what was once the lava field. The top of the volcano is about 7,000 feet and we were feeling the altitude. Well, we will be getting used to the higher altitude from here on out since we are in the Rockies now!
It is really a beautiful country. They call New Mexico the land of enchantment and it really is. Colorado says welcome to the beautiful state of Colorado and it is beautiful! It's amazing how the topography changes from one place to another. We never cease to be amazed by the gorgeous scenery we see. Photos don't do it justice but at least attempts to show how magnificent the USA truly is.
Good night. Love, Mare & Rich

I guess you two didn't stop for lunch and have the 72 oz. steak in Amarillo at the Big Texan. Good thing though, I heard it makes you poop something fierce...Joe
Because you are in high altitude country, be sure to drink a lot of water to avoid altitude sickness.
Love, Rick & Corrine
p.s. wish we were with you to see the Buglewicz Family.
No, we didn't have the big steak in Amarillo we're saving that for another big sky place.
And, yes we are drinking lots of water and using the Susan & Paul Lesczynski method, taking EsteeC which is 1000mg of vitamin C. It works but talk about making you poop. Between the super vitamims we already take plus the extra 1K of C, it does a job on your digestive track! (That's probably more info than any of us needs to know!)
