Day 6 - Oakley,KS - Colorado Springs, CO

Went to Prairie Dog Town in Oakley.  There were signs for about 100 miles before it advertising freak animals.  I paid two bucks and the only freak animal i saw was a sheep with 4 horns. they had a bunch cool animals though, tons of prarie dogs (i tripped in one of their burroughs), coyotes, and well.. stuff. i hate memory. i actually hate lack of memory.  i got pictures though.  Finally got into Colorado which was so relieving.  In Burlington, I went to the Kit Carson 1905 Carousel Fairgrounds, the animals were all hand carved and painted and absolutely gorgeous, dahling.  it went pretty fast too, i felt like i was going to get flung off, and the music was on one of those old scroll bumby things, and it played huge real brass horns and stuff.  Stayed in Colorado Springs, checked out the Garden of The Gods real quick but it was getting dark and i had to find a place to stay, i ended up staying at this like grimy hunting lodge place and it took like 2 hours for them to get me a room, but it was damn cheap. and im a tight ass, so it was worth it.
