THE FLATLANDS Nights of Jul 13 to Jul 16 2013

It was now a straight drive 1,800 miles to Colorado over the next week following the Interstates that unfortunately were very rough. The I-76 into Colorado was the worst stretch of interstate we had experienced in the 20,000 miles we have driven in the USA it was just plain awful and to make matters worse we had a strong headwind. The scenery consisted of endless flat corn fields but they were all very lush. Surprising to us Aussies was that there is no irrigation and it is all naturally watered.

We spent our last night in Dude at a very dry and desolate campground in North Stirling. We were however treated to a spectacular sunset as we sat outside having dinner with a red wine.

As we pondered what we had achieved in the USA we realised just how lucky we had been and really could not have found anything better, a fitting end really.
