As i said Dad and I left Mothers Day morning and drove 789 miles the first day. We had rain and high winds until St. Louis and we stopped and I switched and proceeded to drive all of Mossouri and almost all of Kansas the rest of the day in the sun! It was nice but we still had the wind which hurt our gas mileage. I think we got about 10 miles to the gallon. Ugh! The truck was definitely struggling. I wanted to make it to Hays, KS and we would have, but the last half hour on 70 we ran into a wreck where a semi turned over and totaled his truck. I think he was ok...cause no ambulances came. But we were stuck...stopped for an hour. So I turned the truck off and slept.
We made it one town back when the wreck cleared and stayed at a super 8..haa it was around 12 or 1 by the time we made it there...so tired! The cool thing though is about the time we hit the wreck was where the wind mills are right by the interstate. It was cool to see those in the sunset.
The next day we left and made it with no problems into Denver by like 3:30. Had no trouble in town or finding my place. It is great and really close to everything!
My roomies are great too and I am finally settled! Whew!
