Woke up in Kansas. Really nothing there, so we drove on. The only good thing was the Wendy's at the Pilot gas station and truck stop. It had free wi-fi so I could get on the net for a bit. They also had showers and Stranger wanted to get cleaned up. So we had some time to kill.
After passing into Colorado, not much changed. The eastern half of the state is still part of the great plains. Getting towards Denver though, it gets a little more mountainous. Frankly that was a nice change of pace.
Denver itself was a little disappointing though. Not for what it was but the number of people out smoking. Seeing a dad hand his 16 year old son a cigarette was a little sad. It seemed like everywhere you looked someone was lighting up. Whats up Denver? Do you think that the thin air will protect you from lung cancer? I don't think so.
One of Badger's friends, Tiffany, offered to let us crash as her place. It was nice to have a place with a real bathroom to get cleaned up. We went out to a Mexican place for dinner. We then headed across the street to the Atomic Cowboy for some pool and drinks. We also played a bunch of rounds of Apples to Apples. Then back to Tiff's place to sleep.
I even got a couch to sleep on. Woo-hoo! Being short enough to fit most couches is kinda nice. Also it fits with my philosophy that you only get old when you stop sleeping on couches.
