Heading for the mountains |
| Description: |
The 4014, dwarfed by the landsacape, now gets a roll on toward Bennett, the next town west, and Denver. At left is I 70, and in the distance, the Front Range looms in the haze, 40 miles to the west. |

Ever changing |
| Description: |
One of the things I enjoy about the plains, aside from the expansive, wide open landscape, is the sky. It had rained about four hours the previous night, and that system was still moving off to the east, leaving a changing sky. It would become a feature for much of the days chase across eastern Colorado. |

Windy day |
| Description: |
Another long view of the 4014 shows the smoke blowing off to the side as it fights the typical strong crosswinds in this part of the country, rolling under a big sky. |
