Day 2

Day 2: Fritch, TX to Broomfield, CO
Total Miles: 483
Gas Mileage: 35
Soundtrack: 42nd Street, Newsies, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Moulin Rogue

I woke up after an interesting night in my car and stopped into the visitor center at Lake Meredith. It has potential, I'll keep you posted. It was still much too windy to try and roll up my tent, so I headed out.

As soon as I hit the New Mexico border, I had road construction until I hit Colorado. That is the only reason I was able to take a picture of the sign, I was going slow.


I had good weather until just north of Colorado Springs when I hit snow. Not a light dusting, but a pretty heavy, almost white-out condition, snow. Not going to lie, but it was scary. I was able to make it safely to my friend's home, only to find a moving van outside the house and someone else moving in that night. What?

I called and found she'd moved (back in February, what a bad friend I am, eh?) and was able to find her new place and spent a lovely evening with her and her husband. Stephanie and I have been friends since middle school and it was good to see her and get caught up.
