Rocky Mountain Heisenberg (Pt. 10) - Drive from Denver, Colorado to Wyoming and Nebraska

July 1, 2018 - One thing I look at when I travel are what other regions are nearby to check off my visited list, such as nearby major cities, provinces, states, or even countries. Denver is positioned in the northeast corner of Colorado (or thereabouts), and thus, provides a decent opportunity for a little day-trip to the nearby state of Wyoming and its capitol, Cheyenne, only 90 minutes away, and then 40 minutes beyond that, the state line with Nebraska!

I've been to both of these states before in 2016, but they're new for Sophie, so why not spend our Canada Day in another country checking out a few new states for the checklist?

Each state has some impressive Welcome signs on their borders - I particularly liked that of Wyoming - but I was most impressed with the seen-better-days gas station that straddled the Wyoming/Nebraska state line near Pine Bluffs, on the old US Route 30, before the nearby Interstate 80 was built.

After a long day of putting pmiles on the rental car, we returned for a lovely low-key evening in Denver.

Kansas is another nearby state, but the city of Kanorado is nearly 3 hours from Denver, in one direction - and apparently there isn't much there. I'll get you one day, Kansas!

Driving from Colorado Springs, CO to Denver, CO via I25

Got to spend some time with friends last evening, but time to move on. Today my goal was to head towards Yellowstone. I eventually wind up in Dubois, Wyoming. The route that I chose takes us through Denver, Fort Collins, then Laramie, Rawlins, and and finally Dubois, Wyoming for the night. I have divided this day's drive into 5 parts.

My Sony HXR-NX100 rode shotgun on a tripod shooting at 4 fps. The tripod was held in place using bungee cords giving it I nice smooth feel, even on bumpy roads. I also used this same camera to shoot various scenes around the country, and to interview folks.
