Heading East

Next morning we left Salt Lake City, Utah. I really liked Utah. It is a beautiful state with lots of different countryside to see.
We drove through Wyoming. They got lots of snow. Along the highway we would see some fences which had big snow banks along the fences. I am not sure why the fences were built like they were but it was neat to see.
Next stop was Colorado. We camped in a cabin at a KOA. Here are a few sights from another great state.
Kansas had a flatter landscape at least the part we traveled through. We stopped at the visitor center and inside was this beautiful sunflower quilt. Lots of wheat was growing in the fields. We saw buffalo and I think the other animals were pronghorn antelope.
Next states, Missouri to Illinois to the In-laws house. By the time we got to Illinois it was dark. More photos to come.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

The fences along the roads in Wyoming are to prevent snow drifts from building up. :o) Wonder how many miles you'll have traveled during your tour across the US.

Amazing. So exactly how many miles have you traveled??

Wyoming uses the fences to keep a great bulk of the drifting snow off the highways. Pretty wild seeing them out there, huh?

From what I remember, Kansas is flat from one end to the other.

I would love to have one of those snow fences across my yard so I wouldn't get such deep drifts in my walkway LOL. I'm curious if you kept track of how many miles you traveled too :0)

You really took some lovely photo's Carrie! Thanks for sharing them with us. Wow, Seems like you've covered a lot of miles in a short period of time. Did one of those tornado's give you a little boost up to Illinois? :^).
Travel safe and have fun visiting family.
