Cherry Creek State Park to High Plains Camping

We left Cherry Creek State Park Campground this morning at 8:30. It was 41° and the wind chill was 37°. It was misting rain when we broke camp and it finally became rain as we got on to I-70 east. Because of the rain and fog, I wasn't able to take as many photos this morning as I usually would have.


After a couple of hours, the fog had lifted and we could see farther down the road.


The terrain was totally different from yesterday's drive and consisted mostly of farm land with a few farms scattered here and there. We also saw a lot of wind farms with wind turbines - some turning
and some not.


We crossed the Colorado state line into Kansas at 1:00.


We crossed into the Central Time Zone about 1:45 and immediately "lost" an hour today.

We stopped at a Wal-Mart at Colby, KS to get a few groceries before getting to High Plains Camping at Oakley, KS.


We had made a reservation a couple of days ago. We are in site #303 with full hook-ups including free wifi and cable TV. We paid $39.60 for tonight and that was after a $4.40 discount for Good Sam Club. 

We drove 245 miles today - all on I-70. We forgot to take photos of our campsite this afternoon, so will take some in the morning.
