Pueblo CO

We made Pueblo today, which is the culmination of the Western Express trail. From here we pick up the Transamerica trail for another (ouch) 2182.5 miles, at least according to Adventure Cycling. Coming into Pueblo, and all the rush of civilization, was an abrupt change from the isolation we have had in the last few days in the Rockies. We had to get used to cars everywhere again, and lots of people. The trip today was good, in fact shortly after we left at 5:30 this morning, we saw four big horned sheep cut across the road in front of us. They then proceeded to nimbly climb a 60 degree slope of the canyon wall and ascend 100 feet above us. It was pretty amazing to see. Tomorrow is our last day in Clorado. We should make Kansas on Sunday. We leave Colorado with some satisfaction. It is one of the most beautiful states in the Union in our estimation, and was a great experience to cycle through.
