Road Trip CA to OK to CA
9/07/2025
Lincoln, NE to Cañon City, CO
Part 1
Sunrise in Nebraska
► Stopped at a gas station just west of Lincoln, NE on our way to Cañon City, CO. Long driving day.
I missed the first part of the sunrise as it came up just over the horizon behind us as we were driving through a construction zone and had no where to get off the road.
It was spectacular, for what I could see in the mirror.
As soon as we stopped for gas I realized I was going to get a second chance at the sunrise.

Part 2
Monument Rocks in Kansas
► Dad and I stopped at this geologic wonder in western Kansas, still on our way to Colorado.
I've been here before, but since dad majored in Geology in college, I thought he might like to see this.
This place is in the middle of private farm land in the middle of nowhere.
7 miles of dirt road to get here, and another 7 to get out.

Part 3
Sunset in Cañon City, Colorado
► Good thing I took my camera with me to dinner at Chili's.
The sun actually set earlier than Weather.com said it would for this area.
Stepped out from dinner and realized that if I didn't shoot now, I'd miss the chance.
Not the best angle, but I tried to make it right. Cars and trucks, power and telephone poles and lines,
gas station prices, and the Chili's sign all photo-bombing my meager attempts.
