From Pittsburgh (I-70), currently living in Colorado Springs. When my wife and I first traveled west on I-70 from Pittsburgh to Colorado, my favorite segment of the trip was Topeka, KS to Limon, CO. The terrain in central Kansas is something special, i.m.o. Also love Limon to Kanorado. Sadly, I've only ever made the trip in early winter and late winter, when everything is dead and brown. I was delighted to see this bonus footage, and shocked at how green it all is! I'll be making this venture again in just a couple weeks. It won't look anything like this :(

Yes, brown in the winter. However, the trade-off in the summer months are the bugs. Every gas stop going across the Midwest has a portion of time devoted to scrubbing the insect remains off the windshield. All those crops, you know. Limon took a bad hit from a tornado sometime in the late 80s. Right through the town, including the area at the start of the bonus footage.

I loved the song so much I downloaded it to my phone and some others, I love the way he writes it is so down to earth and legit, so real though some of them are... maudlin which makes me hope that resolution came, though it's hard to know whose story it was when two (or more create a song which is kinda annoying -- in a sense).

Fantastic footage! Strange, I feel a little sadness leaving the Denver area and the Rockies just watching the video, seeing the elevation gradually decline as the miles pass. In 1992 I took a road trip with my dad, getting my sister's stuff from PA and her car from NC and then heading back to California. We were on 70 from St. Louis (actually E.St Louis) to its end in Cove Fort,UT. I enjoyed the stretch in Missouri, the rolling hills made for a fun drive in a rental truck. I enjoyed Kansas like a plantar wart on the foot. Eastern Colorado excited me because I knew Denver was coming, even though the first 180 or so miles are like Kansas.

On the very day that my son was born, I had to use Limon to dodge the scales on I 70 (long story). I was at the dock picking up a super heavy load of sunflower seeds in Goodland when I got the call that my wife was in labor... I told those guys to step it up, and as a result, I ended up with about 50% more than I was supposed to have (those bastards!). Long story short, I didn't make it home in time to be there when he came into the world, but I also didn't have to pay some huge fine for being way over the weight restriction. For that, I'm forever grateful for Limon, Colorado!

However, I know that I-70 is still very boring. You might as well leave I-70 and go to Dodge City or Wichita. When you do arrive in Topeka, you'll start to see less plains. If you want to drive from Topeka to Kansas City in Kansas or Missouri, it'll only take you about a hour to drive through boring plains.

until the end ot your video, was it stil considering as Denver area, or was it plaines prairies.....?

I think the end of the Denver area ended with the 2nd stage, the last stage from Limon is the middle of nowhere.

is there a way to avoid Denver and still get the connection to I 70? I would really prefer to bypass Denver as its where I used to live,and never enjoyed having to go through the city anyways

LIMON!? I watch Control City Freak and he absolutely hates Limon for being a primary control city - so much that it has become a channel meme for Todd. Those storm shots were incredible. nice timelapse

I live in Illinois which has nasty cold winters and nauseating humid sticky summers yet I've always wanted to move to Colorado which has cold bi-polar weather. The mountain beauty is what's drawing me to this state not to mention Illinois property taxes.

The weather is great there even in the winter. But its insanely expensive and has now gone downhill after covid. I left because of some of the insanity post lockdown.

@@joshuakhaos4451 We are looking at the Western slopes in Grand Junction and Palisade but you are right the whole state has experienced serious housing price increases and it kills me for what $350k buys (or doesn't) you. A no basement slab home with no back yard. If there is one only positive thing I can say about Illinois is $350k buys a lot of house with a generous back yards and full basements but that's about the only positive for me because property taxes are among the highest.

This lamb loved your music selection for this three parter. What's up with the 65 MPH speed limit around Limon? The road looks empty enough and well engineered to handle 75 MPH easily. And lambs of course will chime in with the irony of when this video being released the day after the Broncos won the super bowl!

Yes, Limon is nothing to write home about. On one trip, I found a motel in Colby which is just over the line in Kansas. Colby is like a metropolis in comparison!
