Day 39

Hello world!Onward and upward... we have officially crossed the Colorado border! It was quite steamy today, but thoroughly applied sunscreen and tried to stay hydrated. Also, tailwinds were a huge help! Unexpected but much needed.Today was the day... we paid Kansas a quick visit. Nothing special and kinda upset I didn’t see a yellow brick road but hey, we’ll get em next time.Crossing the Colorado border wasn’t the biggest change of scenery, but it was revitalizing and felt like a huge accomplishment. Only 3 days until Denver!Me and my butt can’t wait for that rest day. Trying to wait patiently. Hopefully my friends Chamois butter and Vaseline will get me through.Au Revoir !Marge
