La Plaza Inn (Walsenburg, CO)

Inside my room (#2) at the La Plaza Inn. Turn-of-the-century (19th-to-20th) hotel with high-speed internet! You can hear the toilet running (it had just been flushed) at the beginning of the video. Creaky floor throughout. Had an enjoyable breakfast at the beginning of this day.

Watertower In Hays, KS

Very windy. Cool watertower.

Day 22 (Tue May 31): Driving Home

Day's Summary: The final drive day, home to Chattanooga.

Milford Lake State Park

After a really bad storm that rolled through Kansas the night before. I survived it (in the car), and am ready to head back to Tennessee!

Milford Lake State Park

Milford Lake. I sound a little slooow since I just woke up.

This was the last video I took on my May 2011 Road Trip. It was a blast!
