Abilene KS to Aurora CO

We had breakfast at Snuffy Joe's, a highly rated Abilene diner followed by a visit to the Eisenhower Presidential Library. A very nice exhibit of his childhood home, military life, time as president, and burial site. Very educational!

Then another six plus hour drive to Aurora Colorado. We stayed on one highway for over 6 hours! There were lots and lots of open fields, cows, horses, and a lot of wind generators ( windmills). That was about all until we got closer to our destination. Then we could begin to see the Colorado mountains.

Colorado has a lot of breweries so we stopped at our first one - A Bit Twisted. They served Texas BBQ because the owners are all from Texas now living in Colorado.

We are spending two nights at Cherry Creek State Park. Tomorrow, Denver and Red Rock!Read more
