Big Sky

Driving across Kansas, we got our first taste of the wide open big sky.  It gives a sense of exposure and nothingness and awe all at once.  It's easier to appreciate why folks who come to the east coast feel claustrophobic by all the trees on each side of the road.

That sense of big sky didn't dissipate when we hit the Rocky Mountains in Denver CO.  We've been able to enjoy some really beautiful sunsets from our campground at Chatfield State Park

  1. I crave space like this. When I go home (to Iowa), it's like I can breathe again.

    Glad you guys are enjoying yourselves.
