We finished the first leg of our road trip to San Francisco today.

The idea was to get to somewhere in the middle of Iowa on Tuesday and spend the night and move along today (Wednesday) to get somewhere near Denver.  But, something funny happened.  We decided to push through and managed to go 2,200 KM in 24 hours.  It would have been over 2,400KM, but there were times when we were both sleeping at the side of the road and not driving.

So, here we are in Denver many hours ahead of schedule and able to relax and get cleaned up at a hotel.

Here's the cube by the pony express statue at the Colorado state 'Welcome Centre'

More pics to come as time allows.
