Left a little earlier – 10:15. Headed west to Colorado. Time change. Headed to a Colorado State Park – John Martin Reservoir. State Parks are different from state to state. There wasn’t water at every site – we rode around looking for one that had water and shade, but couldn’t find one, so we left and headed to the next nearest campground in La Junta. Terrible storm and rain during night. Temperature hit 100. Way too hot. Headed closer into La Junta, we began seeing lots of trains and we came to a HUGE beef processing plant as we got into town. We got a real view of farm to table. Such a confluence of trains, grain bins, the fields growing corn, the cows in the fields, the cowboys working on the fences, oil wells pumping, etc. And hot, really hot. Oh, something I haven’t seen in a really long time – old telephone poles with the glass insulators on them.
