Day 5- Onward to Colby Kansas

In an attempt to stay on schedule, we continued to plan for getting together for breakfast around 7:45 AM. Nancy had prepared another wonderful meal for us.

As I mentioned yesterday, our Morgans and Truck and Trailer were filthy from driving in the rain and up the muddy driveway. Dennis kindly got out the sprayer and cleaned off our truck and trailer, and then did the same for Jim and Ellen Jo's Morgan.

The hill down to the highway was steep, but at least it wasn't raining  and the sky was a gorgeous blue.


We had a few more hills to drive  over before getting to Denver, then on to the flat lands.

The traffic through Denver wasn't too bad, but the construction made it very difficult to be in the correct lane and there were many very narrow places making another treacherous driving day for poor Philip.
We stopped for a Mexican Food lunch before getting to the Kansas border

 Again it was not conducive to us to stop for a photo op at the border, but as we passed by, I snapped these photos.

Again, we had to advance our watches an hour, so it was almost 6 PM before we arrived at the Hampton Inn in Colby. We enjoyed our wine and popcorn, and as our hotel was at least a mile from any restaurants, we ordered pizza and pasta delivered from the Pizza Hut to our hotel lobby, where we took over and had a decent dinner. 

Tomorrow we head off for Overland Park, Kansas, where we will see our Hong Kong  friends Ron and Lois whom we haven't seen in a very long time. 

It was reported from the Savannah Agent that the New Zealand Morgans have cleared Customs and will be transported to the warehouse by tomorrow. We still need to have the 2nd UK container cleared, and time is now getting short.
