Overcast day, 18C. Started with top down. The land is incredibly flat and boring!
Flat countryside with corn and beef cattle is gradually changing into grassy prairie with only black (Angus?) cattle dotting the rises. Saw a small herd of Longhorns just before crossing the Colorado border. Spotted wild turkeys by the side of the road, and some kind of broad-winged hawk wheeling overhead. A crop-dusting biplane made several passes over the field next to the highway about the same place; flashes of Cary Grant in “North By Northwest”!
Just past Fort Morgan we started to see the mountains on the horizon. Arrived in Longmont (just outside of Denver) about 2pm. Will spend the afternoon planning what to do in Colorado; tomorrow we go to DFM Engineering (the company manufacturing the new telescope).
