We had a nice adventure out on the prairies of northeastern Colorado. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, but there’s a place called the Pawnee Buttes which is really cool. Actually, it’s very hot, so it was a good idea to start our hike early. We got back to the car at 9:00 AM. In this kind of environment Dad makes me walk very close to him. He’s concerned about rattlesnakes, and he’s probably right that I wouldn’t know how to react if we encountered one. We saw some wildlife, but nothing too dangerous.
Later, as we traveled north through the backroads and into Nebraska, we saw tons of wind turbines capturing the power of the breeze. They’re very big when you see them up close. Dad says that our current president doesn’t like windmills, even though folks out here who likely voted for him are putting them up on their land. I’m not really sure why he feels that way, but I think they’re awesome. They have an elegant design, plus they provide energy for our lives.
