Today was a record setting heat wave in Denver, Colorado and the outlying area. While Jim and I were making our way from Kearney, Nebraska to our destination Bailey, Colorado the temperature was 100 degrees and we rode through a couple of towns at 106!!
Needless to say it was "stinking" HOT. Dehydration set in very fast so we had to stop often to drink water, it was a very weird feeling.
We navigated by writing the directions with crayola writers!!
This is one of the highways from Nebraska into Colorado.
Finally as we approached the mountains in Bailey the temperature changed with a cooling breeze and even some sprinkles on our hot bodies. Just riding to our cottage was amazing with winding highways and elevation at 8,000 feet! We saw a Mule deer with her 2 brand new fawns, and a cute cottontail rabbit leading to our cottage.
