A long travel day on Wednesday carried us from the Great
Plains to the front range of the Rockies, just a tad under 400 miles.
On travel days like these we don’t plan stops, if they
happen they happen and around mid-day we found ourselves in Fort Collins,
Colorado, home of the Colorado State University. Why does that matter? Our
daughter attended CSU and graduated almost a decade ago, so we know the town
and like it and we knew where we could have a good lunch, which we did at the
Chéba Hut.

Moreover, after lunch ‘Cakes (our GPS) suggested one of our
favorite drives in the area, Highway 287 from Fort Collins to Laramie. From
there it was pretty much a straight shot into Rawlins, Wyoming where we stay
for the night. Thursday will take us from Rawlins to Tooele, Utah, just outside
Salt Lake City.
