2nd day - 425 miles

After almost 1000 miles finally of the Interstate. The scenery changed almost immediately changed once I passed the stockyards in Greeley. And yes, Keith you were right, the smell is unbelievable. Even wants to turn a meat lover like me into a vegetarian. Just 50 miles further I got into the Rocky Mountain National Park. The park officially opens the next day and only one campsite was open for use. The Trail Ridge Road, North Americas highest pass is also still closed. Detour! Hope I don't loose to much time tomorrow. Met a very nice fellow rider from Maine named John this evening at my campsite. Incredible scenery and good company - perfect!

First Breakfast - Why do they call this Continental. They should call it Economy Breakfast.
Typical Nebraska scenery. Sorry Nebraska!
That's a little better - 2nd breakfast!
200 miles more - please let's get off the Highway.
Kyle. He is moving from Wisconsin to Denver. Who needs U-Haul?!!
More of that wonderful Nebraska landscape.  This time with bugs.
Finally!!
Bad weather coming?
Fortunately not.
Elk sharing our campsite in the morning.
Rocky Mountains 5:30am. Wow!!!!
Cactus in the Rocky Mountains? It sure seems like it.
More Elk.
A breakfast guest.
My new friend John. Ride safe!
Berry says: "Do we really have to leave?". Yes! Sorry! Hurry up.
