It's the morning after, because yesterday I was tired enough to not feel like leaving my room to fetch my USB mini cable for uploading photos once I had reached my room. It wasn't that I had driven a particularly lengthy stretch, just that I think I tried to fit too much into one day, after considering the massive traffic I encountered in and around Denver. I started the morning in Limon, CO, fairly early, because I was ambitious. I wanted to make sure I saw a...

Hey, all. Stopped a little early today after a nine-ish hour drive, but arrived surprisingly early because of the one-hour time difference. The hotel is also a little expensive, because it's at a major route intersection, but far cheaper than anything currently available in Colorado Springs at the moment. The cheapest hotel I found was about $140. I think I will be skipping staying there. Luckily, Denver is a little more affordable. I started the day by say...

Day 10 started off a little more leisurely. Jimmy had planned significantly more for me during my stay than I had anticipated, and we were going to see it all, and do it all.

He was extremely useful, as he knew a lot more about the area than I could possibly ever absorb, and while Jimmy had a weal...

On day nine, I started the trip a little earlier still, as Geoff had to head to work fairly early. This meant that I was two hours away from KC, at 7:30 AM, with my only real obligation to arrive in KC being around 2 or 3. I decided to take advantage of the early morning lack of traffic, and head to KC early. I needed to put the car in for service, and I wasn't sure exactly how long the explanation or booking procedure would take, and I wanted to write back ...

I'm staying with my friend Geoff this evening, who graciously offered to put me up when we met yesterday. Last night at the hotel was good, but I'd probably rather save the $45 difference after I subtract the breakfast I'm buying him to thank him for hosting. In any case, the day started out early again, I think I've just become used to waking up early thanks to the hostel. I was up at 7, after having lazed around in bed and "slept in" and I went down, had som...
