Sometimes it's cold outside in Kansas.
Mount Sunflower was the second highpoint of my spring break trip. Starting the morning drive from the Blue Spruce Motel in Lamar, CO I took US 385 to US 40 to a gravel road that lies less than two miles inside the Kansas-Colorado border. Taking this gravel road to another gravel road led me to the summit.
The temperature at the highpoint was a cool 32 degrees with some pretty hefty winds. I stayed for 10 minutes which gave me enough time to take 3 pictures and sign the register and then get the heck out of there. I felt compelled to give my vista cruiser a cameo appearance due to its endurance and reliability through the early part of my trip. After leaving the summit, I headed to Burlington, CO on my way to Panorama Point, the highpoint of Nebraska.
