Someone told us to make sure to gas up before crossing the Kansas state line into Colorado. So we wandered all over a small stop on I-70, Kanorado, to fill up at $3.09/gallon. When we arrived in Burlington (just across the border) the gas price was $3.25!
In Limon we had lunch at Wendy's and prowled around Colorado Gifts.

Much of the "Made in China" indigenous items were gone and replaced with more clothing items.
The Wheat Ridge Motel 6 was somewhat of an improvement over Goodland at twice the cost per night. We struggled with the change from Central to Mountain time and turned in at 8:30pm MDT.

The best two things about the Wheat Ridge Motel 6 were the Natural Grocers across the street and the Denny's just next door. Since I didn't sleep well with the person in the second floor room tromping around all night long, I was up very early and on my way to Denny's. Denny's also honors the AARP card for discounts. In addition, I was able to purchase goat milk at the Natural Grocers. Our Newton Wally World was out of goat milk when I shopped for the trip.

What did Day Two of our journey mean to me? We drove through prairie on either side of I-70 that is very familiar to me.
What did I learn Day Two of our journey? I still get a thrill when I first see the mountains west of Denver.
What would I do differently if Mary and I travel again in the future? Nothing. This day went as planned.
