across the plains

driving on I-70 straight across the great plains fast! of course just as fast as our shasta was able to run! ~55 miles an hour. with this speed we were able to really enjoy the flat and treeless stretch through kansas. it is very impressive to see so much sky and flat fields of corn, soy, millet and sunflowers. o yes and of course grain. spotting a few towns which consisted of grain silos and a railway loading dock.
all of us welcomed the stop at limon, jumping into the cool water of the campground pool.
although the mosquitos were eating us alive! thank's to joel we have a table in our shasta to eat on. all bug screens closed we enjoyed the quinoua/broccoli dinner.
we then arrived yesterday at our friends house in engledwood (denver).
thank you s & z for welcoming us and hosting us for a few days.

I'm so happy to know that you're travels have been smooth and enjoyable.

I had never heard about Arapahoe Acres before and the amazing collection of Usonian houses! Hope you post photos and your observations!
