DAY 4 - VA to WA

9.5 hours on the road, 595 miles. Topeka, KS to Estes Park, CO. My sister, Bonnie is with me for the rest of the trip. We're staying tonight at the Stanley Hotel, which is a beautiful, 100-year-old, haunted hotel in the mountains with quite a haunted history. This hotel is where Stephen King stayed, in room 217, which is a haunted room, and he was inspired to write The Shining. Apparently, the strange things he wrote about in The Shining are based on personal experiences he had during his stay at the Stanley Hotel.
