Day Two - Tuesday

Greetings from Denver! We made it here about 4:00pm Denver time today after a long day of driving through Nebraska. It may just be worse than Iowa, hard as that is to believe. We may think our country is heavily populated, but that is so not the case. There is plenty of space left. We have driven through roughly1,000 miles of nothingness between Milwaukee and Denver. Literally with the exception of Des Moines, IA, Omaha, NE, Lincoln, NE and a few semi-towns along the way. We only saw THREE Starbucks between Milwaukee and Denver. But, there are miles upon miles of fields. Kathryn received quite the education in farming and cows today. She's quite fascinated by the "cute baby cows":) Though it is all flat and all fields, it does have a different look and you notice the changes when you are driving across the whole state. Kind of cool to see. So far, we love Denver. The plan is to explore the city tomorrow and then head out of here Thursday morning in route to the Grand Canyon sometime Friday afternoon. Not part of our original plan, but we're making good time so we're going to try to make it there.

Quote of the day:
"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting system through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in." - George Washjngton Carver

Questions to ponder:
-How many brain cells do you have to lose before you can be a truck driver? They are seriously NOT friendly or polite people!
-Who takes care of the random cows in the wide open fields along the road? Kathryn doesn't understand.
-Did you know that there is a Kool-Aid museum in Nebraska?
-Need a friend? Take exit 369 off of Interstate 80 to Friend, Nebraksa:)

Mormon Fact of the Day:
Mormon prophet Joseph Smith had a militia of 4,000 men
