It was pretty cool when we got up this morning in Leadville, CO...somewhere around 48*. We were on the road around 8:00 and headed through the historic town center and on route 91 up to I-70. What a beautiful drive! It was a little hazy, so my photos taken from a moving truck aren't the best, and don't show the streams and lakes along the side of the road either. Passing Lake Dillon in Frisco, where Reid used to live and work, we noticed that the water level was extremely low...sad!
Once we got to the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 it was "all downhill." We were out of the Rockies and east of Denver in about an hour. Then it was just miles and miles of I-70 stretching out in front of us. We stopped for the night around 8pm in Salina, Kansas. The goal for tomorrow is somewhere in south central Illinois.

I have completely forgotten what 48 degrees feels like:(
