Sunday, August 4, 2019 - Siebert, CO ... what? no Internet?

Today was a LONG travel day for us.  We left Salina at 9:31am (Central Standard Time) and arrived in Sibert, CO at 2:08pm (Mountain Standard Time).....almost 5 1/2 hours.  The last thirty minutes seemed like much longer.  However, for the most part we enjoyed the ride.  We enjoy looking at the views and they are sure wide open in far western Kansas and eastern Siebert.

Leaving Salina and headed west toward Hays, Kansas and beyond!

 There was so much beautiful countryside to see:

wide open countryside

How times have changed - windmills to draw water? and now windmills to generate electricity?  What a comparison!

This was such a beautiful area!

 More beautiful scenery:

As we neared this farm, something didn't look right...two of the grain bins had been damaged in a storm, or possibly collapsed.  

This looked like an old farmstead

We saw many fields of crops

How many cows can get shade from a billboard?  They were sure given it a try!

It looks like this road goes on forever....

 As we got closer I noticed these cars buried in the ground.  Dean said they may have put them there to try and keep the ground from washing away.

Lots of grain elevators in western Kansas:

 We made it to COLORADO!!

It looks like they've had a recent hailstorm and some rain

Our stop for the night - Seibert, CO with another grain elevator.

The park office, restrooms and laundry in the building to the right.  There were 9 spots on this side of the house and with us there were three RV's.  When we woke up in the morning - it was full!

Had to take this picture for the former telephone man in my life....a pay phone at the park!

We were so glad to get parked and set up.  Since we had full hookup sites, I took advantage of it and did two loads of laundry this evening.  We stopped at their local grocery store to pick up a couple of items, then across I-70 to fill the truck up.  We are set for the much shorter drive tomorrow.  

We were pretty disappointed that we had little to no internet service, although our Dish worked great.  I was almost caught up with the blog and now I'm behind again!  It was great for an overnight stop though!
