June 10, 2015 – From Nebraska to Estes Park, Clorado

Route for day 5 to KOA Estes park and day ride in Rocky mountains

Getting up early to hit the road again…

Another early morning of waking up and packing…

Goodby Nebraska and hello Colorado,
The flat lands full of farms will change to mountains today.

Goodbye Nebraska

Hello Colorado

The clouds in the far are not very promising for good weather.

Scary clouds in the far

I found a nice quiet spot behind Lowes to clean and lube the chain.

Time to clean the chain, everything of the bike…

Here we are in the mountains now

Mountains finally

There were a couple in KOA right in front of me from Ontario as well, they did lots of cross country with their Gold wings for the last 15-20 years, now they are enjoying travel with their convertible, we had nice chat and my only beer in the trip so far!

Another traveler from Ontario

I decided to go for a bit more ride in the mountains for the rest of the day.

A lot of road kills, from Squirrel and Rabbit to Deer

View of farms down in the valleys

More nice views…
