Day 3: Lions and tigers and freakshows, oh my!

So, day 3 brought us through Kansas and into Denver. Kansas is more or less 400 someodd miles of very boring. Very boring. But Jeff and I managed to find the two only points of interest in the whole state. The only other interesting thing about Kansas was a tornado warning.

First we went for a run and a swim at Wilson State Park on Wilson Reservoir. It was an oasis in midst of the boring, and the run included two full-throttle sprints to avoid birdshit.

Next was Prairie Dog Town. We saw signs for the world's largest prairie dog, rattle snakes, and a six-legged cow about 60 miles out, and obviously, we had to go. It was pretty much awesome. My only regret is that Mr. Lowe wasn't there to "blink" some prairie dogs with his rifle.

The world's largest prairie dog. Kinda reminds me of T-rex arms...

Straight outta Chernobyl! Legs 5 and 6 on the six-legged cow.

Anyways, we made it to Denver last night, and are staying with Jeff's cousin Jeff and his wife Keri. Did our first ride of the trip this morning. It was pretty amazing, and we're heading out for round 2 in a few hours. More to come...

Peace and love,
