Parting is such sweet sorrow!!!
Today, the hubs, Dare, myself and the dogs took off from Junction City heading to Genoa, Colorado. I’ve discovered it really stinks to leave my kids even after a month of visiting – I miss them before we’re even out of the driveway. Again, my favorite part of Junction City was Josh and Taylor and Dare! 
I’ll fly away, O Lordy, I’ll fly away!!!!!
It was about a five-hour drive but felt longer for some reason – maybe all the stops for snacks, bathrooms and an unexpected one to adjust some of the items in the bed of the truck that wanted to fly out onto the highway! The hubs noticed that something had already flown out the bed but we didn’t discover what it was until we got ready to hook up our sewer and couldn’t because we had lost the elbow connection.
Tumblin’ like a tumblin’ tumbleweed!!!
However, we did see some pretty cool things on our way – brown cows, white cows (which Dare said she’d never seen before)(ED. NOTE – where did she think white milk came from???), a buffalo herd and a tumbleweed storm! What is a tumbleweed storm, you ask? It is when you are driving down the road in VERY WINDY (ED. NOTE – 53MPH gusts – and yeah, driving a 5th wheel in that is NOT fun!!!) conditions and hundreds of tumbleweeds come rolling across the interstate for several miles – it was extraordinary!
Well, they gotta do something with all this wind!!!!!!!!!!!
There are also many windmill farms down this stretch of Interstate 70. I find them to be fascinating and beautiful. 
It’s about the size of Pleasantville!!
We followed the GPS to the Genoa RV Park and pulled into the small town of Genoa. The town is roughly a mile diameter (on the paved roads) with dirt roads and a small number of homes within that area.
There are 2 Genoa RV Park locations, the first one is quite small and next to the laundry and Genoa Café. The other park is a couple of blocks away and basically a big gravel and grass area with full hookups. This is the second year the park has been open and it seemed to be a good stopping point before reaching Denver.
The rates are good and the RV host/owner, Hayden, is very helpful. The back of the park faces a windmill farm in the distance. At night you can see the red blinking lights. (ED. NOTE – Like big Christmas trees all year long!!) The front faces five large steel grain silos. 
It’s wide open and quiet and we have plenty of space!
I’ve never seen a white turkey before!!!
Our final bit of excitement for the day was looking out the window of our rig after setting up and seeing the RV host walking the field behind us with a BIG, white bird that turned out to be a rare turkey. It was a hoot watching him drive away in a golf cart with the turkey, Thomasina, sitting beside him in the passenger seat – who would’ve thought! (ED. NOTE – Where did you think they got white turkey meat from???)
It’s pretty in a different way!!!
There is not too much around – it is 95 miles to Denver with a few small towns between with local grocery stores and restaurants. I am very much looking forward to visiting Denver’s yarn shops soon – it is going to be a couple of all day trips 😊!
