From the Mountains to the plains (Colorado to Kansas)

I must have been a mountain man in a past life because as soon as we hit the Kansas Prairies I wanted to be back in Colorado but the journey must continue.

We were up early today as usual and had breakfast, packed the bikes and hit the highway.

Today we pretty well went from A to B on the state highway and only had the odd stop for the 300 miles or so as there really is not much to see on this stage of the trip as is is mainly flat wheat country with a lot of small farming communities dotted along the way.

This is very hot country and the temperature slowly climbed to 38 degrees celsius.

We arrived in to Dodge City mid afternoon and after checking in we went to a WalMart to purchase a couple of things before heading back to the motel for a quick beer and a Thai meal.

Clint and Charleen used this time to replace their back tyre as it was nearly down to the canvas.

Some more photo's below.

Our last view of the Colorado Mountains - We were sad to leave.

And another view....

Kerry loved this portrait.

The Kansas prairies. (No hills)

Our usual stop at each state border continues...
