Today was Alesa's day to feel poorly but that did not stop her from bagging some Russel Stover candy and having cake and ice cream for dinner. The Mizzou Tigers were home today so the town was full of fans and we felt out of uniform not wearing yellow with some sort of tiger on us. They won. W
Trip Log
September 21, 2007
Today is a day of recovery for health and laundry. Felt a lot better this morning so we went on the Harley tour at their KC plant. This is where they assemble the Sportster and V-Rod. After which we drove through Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas.
September 20, 2007
We crossed the Missouri River into Iowa and headed south to Kansas City. I caught a bug from Normie and am a little under the weather. We are going to stay at the Basswood resort for a couple of nights and should be as good as new. There is a V-rod rally at the resort this week. The Harley Da

Today I finally bought some new sneakers at the outlet mall next to camp. The old ones were very tattered and had a lot of hard miles on then but size 14's are hard to find. We then toured Omaha, mainly the Missouri river and the Old Market. Then back to the Wingebachs for more visiting and di

We set up in a KOA west of Omaha and drove to Jacob & Rebecca's house then brought Becca and little Jacob to the trailer. Then went back to their house when Jacob got home from work and had a great chili dinner.

Nebraska continues to be flat, full of corn but very nice. We followed I-80, the Platte River and the Overland trail to about 100 miles west of Omaha. Spoke with Becca (Niebauer) Wingebach this morning and will see her and the Jacobs tomorrow when we settle in the KOA in West Omaha. The Eagles

Geologically speaking, our world got very flat once we left the front range but it was a lot easier driving on flat, straight interstate 76. We settled into the Cabela's campground in Sidney, NE between the retail store and corporate headquarters.
September 15, 2007
We went to Boulder to tour Celestial Seasonings tea company. We also revisited the city but kept the visiting to a minimum because the Buffs play Florida State tonight and there are a lot of fans in town. We then drove back into Denver and toured Hammond's Candies and then drove through downtow
September 14, 2007
We drove across the mountains on route 40 and picked up I-70 about 25 miles west of Denver. We crossed the continental divide at about 11,200 feet. It was a lot of climbing and descending but the views were great. We settled in at Golden and hiked on Dinosaur Ridge, a park we used to go to whe

Today was a quiet day in Steamboat. We woke up to frost but it warmed up to 80 during the day. We did what we wanted to do, I fished and prospected for gold on the Yampa and Alesa rock hounded. I caught a few good sized ones but put them back and have a few flakes of shiny yellow stuff. I'm s
