Kept waiting to get to Colorado, thinking about the mountains and streams and beautiful scenery. And of course eastern Colorado is just as bad as Kansas, if not worse. It was still several hours before I saw mountains.
But once we got past Denver into the mountains, that drive was absolutely magnificent, all the way to L.A. I had never been in that part of the country before, so even the stuff that would bore me if I spent any real time there was cool because it was all so foreign and new to me.
