The Great Colorado Sign Challenge is one of the virtual run challenges I've signed up for this summer. The challenge is to cover 305 miles - which happens to be the number of miles between the "Welcome to Colorado" signs on I-25 at the Wyoming and New Mexico borders. I have just completed that challenge and to cap the run, Kendall and I went to the Wyoming border this morning so I could run along the I-25 frontage road from the Wyoming border south into Colorado. Much to my delighted surprise, that frontage road happens to be dirt - and only one car (besides Kendall) passed me as I ran. If it were not for the traffic noise from the neighboring interstate, it would have been a truly idyllic run. Even so, it was quite the treat with no traffic worries, plenty of long views, and the company of antelope and buffalo!
Long views - the first with the iconic Wyoming/Colorado buffalo statue on the hill in the background.
...where the deer and the antelope roam!
And buffalo too! Taz must have smelled them (dark spots in the background of the first photo):
A closer look - hooray for camera zoom!
So! Great Colorado Sign challenge done! Now it's time to concentrate on The Great Run Across Michigan - from the Indiana border to Lake Superior/Whitefish Point!
