| Riding into the Panhandle |
Well it's the final push to Denver it was a clear morning in Chadron Nebraska on the pan handle. The western part of Nebraska has a unique western flavor. Riding through the Nebraska National forest was exhilarating; part plain, forest, and bluff. It is a good morning to be alive.

| On Route 88 in Nebraska |
The high sandstone bluffs in western Nebraska provide western vistas one cannot imagine. You must ride through them yourself. Riding out of Bridgeport on Nebraska Route 88 for a hour I never encounter another car. Bluffs and forest giving way to grassy plains on both side of the road. Definitely the right road at the right time.

| Sunset in the Panhandle |
It is still a couple hours to Denver after leaving the Bluff Country. Before Denver it is the desolation through Pawnee National Grassland and the high desert plain of eastern Colorado and Nebraska. Heading south Nebraska Route 71 turns into Colorado route 71. On this a lonely road there is a strange eerie beauty to it all. Once through the grasslands its a left turn on Colorado Route 14 for more of a ride on the Colorado high desert plain. Once reaching US Highway 85 in Greeley it is a short romp on 4 lanes to my destination in North Denver.
The trip is now 2/3 over with. My fantasy football draft party is in 3 days; but first a trout fishing trip in the rocky mountains.
