I'm now in colorodo springs, home of pikes peak, the tallest point in the US. We came across from kansas city yesterday and saw some great plains - antelope, farming, horses, cattle, sagebrush. The day before we hit up St. Louis and rode the gateway arch to the top for a birds eye view of the mississippi river and the priii parked below. Today we might hit up pikes peak, and then head southwest a bit. Who knows.

I had a long post about reflections on leaving blacksburg, but decided that it was a bit too personal and I would end up deleting it later. Nevertheless, I thought I'd just add for posterity that it is a very odd feeling leaving - a big transition, and yet not really that big anymore. I am very excited to be moving into the next stage, and simultaneously very sad to be leaving this one.
