Day 69 - Glendo to Douglas

Comment

We left very early again to get to our hotel before it got too hot. I'm looking forward to mornings when we can choose between leaving at 9 or 10.

The Glendo Reservoir is just outside Glendo. It is a popular lake for boating and fishing. It was created by a dam on the North Platte.

We rode Hwy 87 which parallels I-25. A rail line runs between the two roads much of the way.

There was a sign on the road warning of heavy truck traffic ahead. This is the reason. There was a large rock quarry.

We are enjoying the Wyoming scenery.

This tree was striking with it's bark missing leaving the bright white trunk.

Near the end of the ride, we stopped under an I-25 overpass to rest and cool off. We saw these nests under the bridge. I think they are cliff swallow nests. I didn't get a picture of any birds.

We saw this structure in the distance. Kerry said it was probably a weather station.

Weather station?? I say alien landing pad!

We're going to stay here in Douglas for three nights and have a little break. Tomorrow we're going to visit a couple of museums - more wagons and more trains.

Today's ride: 30 miles (48 km)
Total: 2,660 miles (4,281 km)
