Once again we were up early to get on the road. Today the drive was 4.25 hours. When we first started out I commented to Mike how it looked a lot like driving through Indiana. But it really doesn't look like Indiana in the picture. :)
Then it just became rolling hills and not much to look at. I was surprised by the number of oil fields we drove by.
Next we drove by a very large wind farm.
This part was pretty. :)
I sure do like to drive on state and US highways better than interstates. Just a lot less traffic. We did go through one construction zone, which wasn't bad until the lanes became uneven. Mike went off the edge and had a little trouble getting the rig back on.
Eventually we made it to Emerald RV Park in Fort Morgan, CO. Fort Morgan is a bigger town than I thought it was going to be.
The RV park is mostly a big parking lot. There are quite a few monthly tenants here. I think most of them are oil field workers. The staff was very nice and the restrooms were clean. It will be a good place to spend the night. :)
A lot of the reviews that I read said The Flame Steakhouse next door was the best part of staying here, so for dinner we tried it out. It does not look like much on the outside.
But the inside is very nice.
The menu is very limited: Rib-eye, T-Bone, 2 sizes of Sirloin, or a grilled Chicken Breast. But the food and the service were very good. Good enough that the Governor of Colorado, Governor Polis, had 3 tables reserved.
His party did not arrive while we were there. :)
It was another wonderful day!
