We got up early this morning and had a quick breakfast before getting on the road.  We traveled through more of the San Juan National Forest and then over the Colorado Rockies.  We went through one pass that was 10,837 feet and also crossed the Continental Divide again.  We traveled north on the other side of the Rockies for a while before turning east.  We had a bit of snafu trying to get to I-70, but after a bit we did get going correctly.  That confusion did cost us about 45 minutes so we didn’t get as far as we had planned.  We passed many wheat fields and then came the dreaded CORN!  We crossed into Kansas and got as far as Colby.  We went to dinner at Montana Mike’s and everyone had a delightful dinner.  The boys have showered and Dave and I will do so in the morning.  We hope to get to Lawrence, KS tomorrow to show Alex and Theo where their mom went to graduate school.
