On the Road Again . . . Allegro-Less

We had the opportunity to exchange a timeshare week for a condo in Breckenridge, Colorado, and thought it was time to get out-of-town. We have the condo for a week, so this morning we got "On the Road Again . . . Allegro-less". That is, we left our motor home, the Allegro Bus, setting in the driveway at home and headed for Colorado in the Blazer . . . a new experience for us as all of our travels for the past several years have been in "The Bus".


We passed through hilly Eastern Kansas covered with corn, soy beans, and pasture; the large rolling hills of Central Kansas, covered with mostly grazing lands and the tall grass prairie; into flat Western Kansas, where you can see for miles and the wheat fields stretch to the horizon, as pictured here.

The weather was bright and sunny with temperatures in the 80's the whole day . . . a boring but quite pleasant drive . . . a day of listening to the radio and CD's . . . with an occasional glimpse of an antelope herd.





We stopped for the night about 55 miles short of the Colorado state line at Colby, Kansas, where we checked into the Quality Inn. We were so surprised at the cleanliness of this motel, the very nice facilities, the extremely pleasant "American" staff, and the elaborate free morning breakfast. It was certainly a very nice experience.

So our first experience overnight "Allegro-less" was very pleasant. Tomorrow morning, we will be back "On the Road Again . . . Allegro-Less" for the remainder of our trip to Breckenridge.
