We stopped off on the side of the road for another "point of interest" this time to see the ruts the wagon trains, the pioneer men, women, and children, travelled crossing the country for more than 60 years.Look closely in this picture for gully like indents in the terrain. Those are the trails there are four but from the angle I took the picture you probably onluy see three.Just absolutely amazing to us to see the pioneer life upclose.Sent...
There are many of these feed yards along our way. It is exciting to see the farms that supply this country up close and personal.These feed yards are different than the vast open ranches of Colorado.Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mob...
Oh the land of my birth :)I'm so excited to have made it to KS. Our first stop is Dodge City, I had scheduled a visit to an overlook of the cattle stock yards. Believingly that will still come to pass. The weather in eastern co an western ks ia phenomenal!!! This certainly is the weather I packed for :). You will notice that I'm not wearing my sweater (the only one I packed LOL). So now you all know I did bring more than one outfit hehehe.Love...
We're approx 40 miles from the Kansas border and we were passing a dump truck and tori noticed the oddest place she's ever seen a license plate. Hint look up.Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mob...

Around 10:30 we arrived at the great sand dunes national park in awe and amazement at the beauty and size of the dunes. God really blessed us because the only clear skies were right over the dunes.We opted to take most of our dunes pictures on our nicer cameras so we'll have to update those later. But you can kind of see them behind us12:30 pm we're done at the dunes and have to follow the same route back through/over the mountains.Fyi...
