Oakley, Kansas to Littleton, Colorado. We survived a, normal for them, wild for us thunderstorm on the high prairie last night. The trailer was swaying wildly and the lightning was flashing but it finally calmed down enough so we could fall asleep. We passed several sunflower fields in bloom and loved the site. As we were getting close to Denver we got off the interstate onto SR 86, the scenic route into Denver. It was lovely. Rolling hills and cattle ranches all the way in. We arrived at Chatfield State Park south of Denver and settled in. The view is spectacular!!! The weather is hot and sunny but in the west it is so dry you don’t mind the heat at all.
After 25 years between visits, we arrived at John and Elaine’s (Jamie’s cousin) and were happy to see them and meet their pup Katie. She and Tipper had a ball playing in their beautiful back yard. BK
Picture one is the High Plains Campground in Oakley Kansas, #2 is of the sunflower fields as we whiz by.

James, Betsy,
Glad to hear the dogs are getting along. If you see more sunflower fields on your trip take some close up pics - that would make a great clock face. Tell Jamie to not be a "Bob" and that you can stop for a minute to take some pics. Have fun.

Does anyone in the Merkert Family know how to slow down and enjoy the scenery or do you all only know one way to travel... fast?!?!?!
Some close up pictures would be great, I can already see an art project coming.
Love, Amy
