Day 11: A day at the Farm

Spent the day at the Schlegel Farm-what an operation!  The farm equipment is so incredibly huge, but I guess that's what it takes to farm so many acres.  The Schlegels were fantastic hosts for my two, very busy, days in Kansas.  In addition, after the partial tour of the farm (way too much to cover in one day), I was very fortunate to be able to go to the top of the grain elevator.  What a different experience!  Now if the mid-west could only get some rain so that they can plant their wheat in a few weeks!  Think rain, everybody!
I then hit the road and made it to Limon, Colorado (75 miles from Colorado Springs).  Colorado seemed just like Kansas, but only for the first 100 miles or so, then the hills began.  I can see the Rockies off in the distance, so know that I have another different experience ahead of me, again!
