Glad I'm Not There Now!

Back in November 2016, I was heading back west into Colorado from Kansas along Interstate 70 

after visiting the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas.

The weather was cool, but manageable.

However, parts of that stretch of I-70 into Limon, Colorado were closed due to blizzard conditions.

KOAA News reported:

A powerful spring snow storm has caused multiple road closures on Colorado's eastern plains. 

High wind warnings and blizzard warnings have been issued across eastern Colorado and western Kansas. Blizzard conditions are expected to last through Saturday morning. 

CDOT said that I-70 has been closed from Limon to the Kansas border with no estimated time of reopening. The closure is extending to Airpark Road as of 3:50 p.m.

News such as this certainly does bring back travel memories. I stayed at the Limon, Colorado KOA. I remember it mostly for all the bunnies running around.

After leaving Kansas, I entered Colorado and made my way to the Limon KOA for an overnight's stay.

It was a convenient little campground (64 sites) with farmland scenery, friendly staff and lots of bunnies running around.

My site was a back-in site with full hook-ups. The site was fairly spacious with border fences. It also had a picnic table to use. There wasn't much in the way of shade, but I got there in the late afternoon, so that wasn't a problem. The campsite was nice and level, so I didn't need to use my leveling blocks.

The staff was friendly and helpful. After my KOA discount was applied, I paid $30.00 for the night's stay. I would stay there again.
