It is a lot of miles in a short time.  There is a bit of excitement near the end of the trip as Kent manages to weave us through a front of heavy storms with grapefruit sized hail and 70 MPH wind.  We run through some heavy rain but emerge unscathed.

It is our last travel night and we land in a bit of a throwback place, The Anchor Motel in Walsenburg, CO.  It is a Mom and POP strip motel with parking right outside your door.  Rooms are very small and sparsely furnished but it is comfy and mostly clean!  Kent finds a great dining option, The Crafty Canary.  It is actually mostly local brewery and craft cocktail joint with just enough food options to get by.  Of course, we try the cocktails.  Mine a lemon/sage/cucumber/herb spritzer and Kent a Whiskey Smash.  It is a nice ending to the road trip.
