There wasn't much happening today except driving. It was a 600 mile, 9 hour drive from Jackson Hole to Limon Colorado. The drive from Jackson south and then east through Wyoming was beautiful, as was the northern part of Colorado. The drive through Denver and east is awful. Limon is a little town about 60 miles east of Denver on route 70. The only reason we stopped there was the drive was getting boring and I was ready to quit driving. There wasn't much there except truck stops, a few motels, and Oscar's Bar and Grill (oscarsbarandgrille.com). The motel we checked in was fine, barely fine, but fine. Oscar's was another story. It was designed around a Hollywood theme with old famous movies stuff all over. The menu was extensive and the food really good. The tables were made out of old bowling alleys, strange but interesting. The manager at the motel recommended the 5 1/2 hour pot roast and so did the waitress. I wasn't interested in pot roast because there were so many other good things on the menu, but I got it anyhow. It was another lesson relearned - just listen to people! It was the best pot roast I even had and obviously recommend it. Limon turned out to be an excellent stop and I don't think if I drove by again, I'd never pass it by.
Tomorrow we continue east through Kansas and into Missouri. We might just try to get east of Kansas City, or might just stop for the night in downtown?
