They opened I70 across Missouri yesterday morning. First time they have closed the interstate from border to border. I hit the road running along with thousands of semis. Spending two days in a hotel was not my idea of a good time. I must admit the hotel was wonderful and even gave me a discount rate on the second night (and no it was not a senior discount). Had a tough time digging my car out and almost could not open my doors due to ice. They did an awesome job cleaning the interstate across Missouri and Kansas. I did find far more cars and trucks buried in ditches than I expected. I finally stopped after 13 hours of driving but only after I had entered Colorado. Spent the night in Burlington, CO and will head to Denver in just a minute and drive straight to the airport. I have some paper work to get started for badges and parking permits then some quick training this evening. I hope to be at my sisters by 9:00 this evening. Oh, I was given a gift last night of watching a beautiful sunset near Lawrence, Kansas. And, it is true, they do have more stars in a Kansas sky. I’m almost home.
