Monday, July 13th – Liberal, KS to Trinidad, CO

Yup, 280+ miles today of great, great riding.
We passed through FOUR states: Kansas (lower left-hand corner), Oklahoma (the Panhandle), New Mexico (the upper right-hand corner), and finally, Colorado (lower right-hand corner). It was a day filled with an incredible diversity of topography, scenery, and beauty.

Criss-crossing Oklahoma farmland over the past several days provided a never-ending stream of sights and surprises:

Nature takes its toll 
One that didn’t make it 
Hmmm… it fits 
And it shall be called: Motorsaurus!


After traveling the length of the Oklahoma Panhandle, we crossed over into New Mexico. The road in the photo below runs directly on the border between the two states – Ryan on the left is riding in New Mexico – Dan on the right is in Oklahoma!


After an amazing (and VERY WARM) run through this beautiful corner of New Mexico, we crossed the border into Colorado.


We did encounter a little bit of the weather depicted above as we approached Trinidad, CO, but nothing to cause concern.
It was a long, long day with almost 300 miles in the saddle. Tomorrow promises to be another spectacular ride on some of Colorado’s most beautiful roads – Stand By!!
