The high and low temperatures varied a great deal today as one travels to the top and back of the Rocky Mountains, the low coming in at 50F at the top of the mountains and the high rose to 88F at Fort Collins, Colorado. The elevation is the main factor for these differences in temperature as it is near 1200 feet at the top of the Rocky Mountains and around 5000 feet in Fort Collins. For the most part the sun shown brightly between a partially cloudy sky. Gasoline purchases were twice again, one at $3.889/gallon and the other at $3.669/gallon. This was a great day as I traveled the entire Route 34 through the Park from Grand Lake to Estes Park a distance of 48 miles. Awesome is the only way to describe it. I will have to say it was quite chilly at the top as the temperature sank to 50F and the winds try to take one away.
Tomorrow starts the journey across mid America.
Take care!
