The early morning sunlight brings out the hayfield stubble ... in a huge field.
We stopped to take in the vastness of the high plains ... "the High Lonesome" ... along route 71 north of Limon around dawn. I was caught (not struck!) by the passing of two vehicles on that lonesome highway ... and then by the wiggles in the paint lines and blacktop surface.As we transited into Nebraska on I-76, 601 miles from our starting point in Mancos, there was a gray bank of cloud lying along the north side of the river. Not long after, it enveloped us and most of Nebraska was encased in a gray-out.
We weren't IN much snow, but it snowed not long ahead of us, and by evening it was cold and slushy as we came through Omaha at rush hour, noting the flags at half-staff for yesterday's tragic shootings at a local mall. We tucked it in just a bit into Council Bluffs, ate at Ruby Tuesday (a first for both of us) and called it a day. Who knows what tomorrow's weather will be? TV

Thanks for sharing your trip. It's such a neat way of doing so.
These pictures remind me of the first time I traveled I-90 across South Dakota. Rolling hills or flat land, scattered with farms/ranches. I saw the neatest thing in huge fields of sunflowers. These fileds were miles and miles, not a backyard thing.....Hope you two are happy and havingand enjoying a wonderful Christmas Season......Hugs, Leon/TM
Good to hear from you, Trav; note those pics of the Mancos Mush course ... it can't get anything but better! We'll be looking forward to your visit! TV
