Viewing Album:  Western Kansas and Colorado
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:3/14/2019 - 3/17/2019
Album Info:My dad and I went on a big road trip through Western Kansas to Denver and Wyoming (WY pictures will be in a different album). He drove part of the time, which meant I got some great photos off the interstate (safely, of course). Also, we stopped along the way and saw many wonderful sights--train stations, a steam engine, out-of-territory Utah Railway engines, and more! Not sure how quickly I'll be able to get these all posted, but keep checking back on the album! Hope you enjoy!
