Thursday July 5, 2018 Ratone, New Mexico

Traveled today from Raton, NM through Colorado to Cheyenne, WY. Interesting drive, mostly on I-25 starting by going over the Raton Pass (7900 ft. in elevation) with pedal to the metal doing 38 mph. Followed up through Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock and Denver with many changing  landscapes from high desert to bordering the edge of the Rockies. Smoke from the Spring Creek and Walsenburg wildfires in Colorado covered much of the Western Mountains.

Camped at Cheyenne KOA. Very clean camp, all gravel and roomy. We stayed here for several days last year while touring Cheyenne but this was just a one night stopover.
