Pawnee National Grassland. Colorado MX ?? sites


Left Nebraska on Highway 71 and entered NE Colorado.  Most all of the trees are gone at this point and the elevation
was over 5000 feet in most places.  Very open area.  Also, missile silos were all over the place 

I was amazed at how close you can drive to one of these.  Then again, what could you do to it ???

A quick stop at Pawnee Buttes.  You could see the cold front racing to the east.
