I forgot to mention one interesting thing about our drive on I-70 across Kansas and eastern Colorado. As expected, the terrain is flat - farmland and prairies. Being of the Stevens clan, the children loved the farms and fields. They spontaneously exclaimed "This is beautiful!" a few times. We all agreed that Grampy would have loved that scenery and we felt that he was with us on that part of the journey.
The other amazing thing in Kansas was the windmills. There were miles upon miles upon miles of windmills. Don Quixote would have had the battle of his life! We saw the first crop of windmills and thought it was pretty cool, but as we went over the next knoll, there were even more. So it went for a long, long time. Not surprising, it was very windy on the road through that stretch. There was no storm, just wind. Kansas is making good use of that natural resource there along I-70. We all thought that was pretty cool.
