The sign said Welcome to Colorful Colorado. However, while the landscape had changed a bit what we saw didn't look look like the images that come to mind for Colorado. Turns out that an area called the Eastern Plains makes up close to half of the state. As with other recent state border crossings we noticed immediately that it looked different than Nebraska, yet it's hard to describe how. We found much of I-76 to be under construction and were really happy that I had recently installed a Friction Sway Control Bar based on strong recommendations from several folks at the Tin Can Tourists rally. The Friction Sway Control proved well worth the cost many times during the trip, especially in situations like this when big rigs were going the other direction at 75mph just across the yellow line. After a while we decided to stop for lunch and found the spot in the photo above close to a town called Crook. Desolate, but also very cool in it's own way, and definitely "someplace else" which was one of my goals for the trip.
