Day 1
Be prepared to drive for a while! Started our road trip from Austin, TX to Colorado! It’s roughly a 15-16hour road trip. Its 983 miles. We split it in 2 half’s. On the first day we were on the road for about 6 hours and then took a stop at a motel for the night. Stayed at “Knights inn” at Slaton . We also stopped in a small town in Texas called “Llano” for food.
Took off for the 2nd half of our road trip. This is the longer half. We left at about 9:30am and got to Colorado at around 8:30pm (it was an 10-11 hour drive) The drive is obviously scenic. Clear skies and beautiful landscape.
There are many “Rest areas” along the route to stop and take a break. The picture below was taken at one of them.
