I just got back from dinner in Loveland, CO where I was fortunate enough to watch the Bruins put a hurting on the Penguins, even if it did make me a little homesick. Loveland is right at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and they really are impressive. I wish I could have gotten a picture of them at dusk just now, it was quite nice. The weather has really changed quite a bit over the past couple of days. Iowa West of Des Moines never got out of the 50s, Nebraska was warm and sunny the whole way, and Colorado hit 90 degrees today. It was kind of a pain to have to keep stopping to change my gear, but I can't complain about cloudless skies, especially after the past week.

Last night I ended up finding a nice little nook in a rest stop to camp out in. It was wooded with shelters, a bathroom facility on site, and the best part...
...it came with it's own 6 AM wake up call.
Cutting through the Rockies tomorrow, then up to Yellowstone. Hopefully I'll have internet while I'm up there, but if not I'll try to post something when I get to Boise.
