On to Cheyenne

Leaving Durango we headed to Colorado Springs as a stop over bef Co ore heading to Cheyenne. The trip from Durango to Colorado Springs was very beautiful. Just east of Durango was wide open spaces and beautiful green rolling hills. I certainly wouldn't mind living there or at least having a second home there to go to in the spring and fall. After Colorado springs we drove through Denver to Cheyenne. Sam did most of the driving and there was a lot of construction on the freeway and a little bit a rain. She got the worst of the driving I'm afraid. In Cheyenne we stayed at Springhill suites, it was the only place available and they were charging three times their normal rate because of the Frontier Days fair. Cheyenne Frontier Days is a really big deal in that area and people come from all over Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado to go there. The hotels in the area are usually all sold out six months in advance. Because it was so crowded we took an Uber from the hotel to the event for both the concert on Friday night and the rodeo the next day. That made it a lot easier and I didn't have to worry about parking my brand new truck in a crowded parking lot. The concert Friday night with Keith Urban was the main reason we went on this trip. It was an amazing concert and we had a really good time. The rodeo on Saturday was also very fun and we enjoyed that a lot too. The actual fairgrounds resemble the LA County fairs that we go to every year at home.
