Somewhat rough day for George, mainly first part of the day. It was cold and very cloudy but the main problem was that the roads here (start of Colorado) are very very bumpy. Not sure what material they use on these roads as they have a red hue to them. George thought that the roads were bad in Kentucky but these roads make those look great. We really hope that not all the roads are like this. At one point, George hopped in the car and we went 20 miles and roads were slightly better there. The other thing is that he is getting a bit done with the Plains (even though, we are officially in the high plains) scenery. Its very pretty but the scenery does not change much from day to day. He did finally got into the groove and did well overall. We are starting to climb some. These hills are quite different than what we are used to. Most of the hills, we know of, you work hard going up and then you get rewarded with a nice downhill. But these hills here, have no downhill (say what???), yup they just gradually go up and then g oflat. Since we have to get from the plains to one of the highest cities in the country (Denver, CO), we obviously need climb a lot. Better to do these gradual hills than one huge mountain (even though, I do think that we have one huge mountain to climb too, later on the route). We have been sad to see the slaughter houses around here. Not to mention that they smell horrible. We (humans) seem to be very cruel... there are beautiful, huge cow pastures, where the cows graze freely and life couldn't be better for them. Then we take them away from their home, put them in concentration camps (very crowded, dirty, polluted place), right before killing them. I realize that Beef industary is very important for our economy but when the whole thing stares at you, its a bit tough to ignore. Enough about that soap box.

We went from Calorado Border (Towner) to Sugar City, CO
