We stopped at rest areas along the way, on the Blue Star Highway in honor of US Army veterans; south of Walsenburg we passed a sign proclaiming Highway of Legends. Highway of Legends tickles my imagination--there has to at least be a short story or poem of that name. Nearby we saw a herd of cattle marching along the roadside on their side of the fence, three or four abreast, without adult supervision. Jesse said, "They are on their way to the watering hole." That seemed a little magical in itself.
