Day 11 - So many animals...

Before heading out of the Centennial State, we made a 3 1/2 hour visit to the Denver Zoo. So many animals.

The Denver Zoo isn't a bad deal. It's $13, but the parking is free and they allow you to bring in your own food. We almost got through everything - I would say 4 hours will get you through the entire property - but we got a little tired from walking around in the heat plus another nasty thunderstorm was about to hit.

Before we left though, we saw a wide variety of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and fish. Here are a few of the best pictures...







After the zoo, we drove through a little nasty weather before getting a nice sunny drive through northeast Colorado into Nebraska. It's true, there is a lot of corn. I also saw a lot of cows. Many had horns. With the KOA office closing at 9pm, I thought we had plenty of time until I saw the "Entering Central Time Zone" sign. Oops. We got there at 8:50pm.

That is all. Next stop - Newton, Iowa with possible stops in Omaha and Des Moines.
