Today is our last full day in Colorado. We will head east tomorrow morning with the hope of making it most of the way through Kansas before we stop for the night. The next stop will be a few days in Columbia, Missouri before continuing on to Connecticut.
Yesterday we had a tour of Phoenix Gold Mine in Idaho Falls, Colorado. It was worth the price! We were able to get tours of two mines, a ride on a mine train (a little Minecraft like) and lessons on panning for gold. I don’t think any of us were patient enough to get any gold from the stream, though it was probably there.
This morning Izzy and I walked the 2 miles (each way) to the next town so she could get a drink at Starbucks. We made it 100 feet from our room before the rain started. It was a nice flat walk and it felt good to get out for a stretch. This afternoon we are all just taking it easy. A few rain showers are expected this afternoon with a steady rain starting overnight. Hopefully the drive tomorrow won’t be too crazy.
