I needed to get to the 70/24 split in Colby to clinch I-70 in Kansas.

Should be Business Loop 70, not I-70, in downtown Colby

Buffalo Bill monument, US 83, Oakley

No, it's not. (It is, however, the end of signed US 40 in Kansas until you get to Topeka.)

On the standalone part of US 40 in far western Kansas. It might be interesting to do old 40 through the state sometime.



This is a neat museum, but given its location attendance is sparse.



That's one way to acknowledge history while building a new courthouse.

Limon

Byers


On the Colorado state map, US 40 is marked discontinuously between Denver and Limon, but it's co-signed with I-70 the whole way. Old US 36 west of Byers is signed as CO 36, but US 36 disappears completely until I-25.

First thing in the morning: Tour don't-call-it-Mile-High-Stadium.

View of the mountains from Colorado's state capitol.







This was my first time driving on I-25, and my first time on I-25 at all since 1995.

Junction of US 6/40 near Golden, on the west edge of the Denver metro.

Add Denver to the list of cities I've experienced a traffic jam in.

North end of I-225, the only 3di in Colorado
