In this video I set off to drive across the western half of the great state of Colorado only on backroads and local highways—no interstates allowed! And as always, I see and do some interesting stuff along the way. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

1. Southern Illinois has an area (farm field) that is flooded for bird migration.
2. You are my kind of traveler, back roads, old US routes-the old way of traveling.
3. You live in Wyoming, have you ever been to the Ames (Bros?) train monument(pyramid shape). My Dad was stationed at FEWarren AF Base in Cheyenne. My brother read a book on Wyoming history and our family took a Sunday drive to find the monument. (We did).
4. Thank you for taking us places we probably will never have opportunity to visit.
5. Safe travels, God Bless.
