While I didn’t freeze, the precipitation on the car did. Boy was that a cold night, but I only felt it when I got out of the car.

I arrived in Denver on a Sunday so no government buildings were open. I did get a few decent shots of the Colorado State Capitol Building though and a nice short walk in the immediate area. A few red squirrels caught my attention too.

In case you were wondering, I did get my doughnuts from the Colfax Avenue Voodoo Doughnut shop. That bunch would have to hold me over until I can get to another shop, who knows how many months from now. I bought enough to last me four days. Anything over that the doughnuts just don’t taste right. I made sure to leave enough room in the cooler to keep them as fresh as possible and had some containers ready for them.

The drive out of Colorado and the first part of Kansas was less than ideal; not unsafe, just pretty much like driving at night due to all the fog. It is also too cold to do much of anything since there aren’t major attractions that are open along the way. I have decided since the weather forecast says this will last a good part of the week that I will just drive at a leisurely pace, rest when I feel like it, and put more miles on during these days than originally planned. I can hope the forecast is wrong, but for some reason I don’t think so.
