Day 3( 6/17/07)

We started off at 6am this morning in hopes of making it through Kansas. Kansas is one very long state. We stopped at a town outside of Oakley, Kansas to see the home of the 8000 lb prairie dog. We visited Praire Dog Town which had all kinds of animals. Some of us got to see our first rattlesnake up close and personal - through a cage. We got to feed the animals. As for the 8000 lb. prairie dog...it was never advertised as being a live animal - it was a statue. We did get to see a 6 legged steer. After our visit with the animals, we again hit the road making the journey to just beyond Denver, CO to the town of Golden, CO ( no relation to our trip leader Rob Golden). We camped at Chief Hosa campgrounds for the night.
