On the road again

 

There is nothing wrong about oatmeal.  It’s just me and the goofy way I metabolize carbohydrates.  I don’t do it very well.

 

The Leaf Bug; that was Teigan’s.  I got to take pictures as she was letting it go in the raspberry bushes.  Leaf Bugs really like to eat raspberry leaves.

 

 

Monday

We’ve been in Colorado for a month.  Had a nice long visit with the kids.  Not nearly long enough.  But time to move on anyway.

 

North up Interstate 25.  Across the state line to Wyoming.  The road got smoother.  Traffic dissipated.  Wide-open rolling grasslands.  Love that drive through Wyoming.

 

Stopped for the night at Wheatland; elevation 4,750 feet.  Cold at night; in the thirties.  The air won’t hold much moisture here.  Dry skin.  We mean to find some humidity.

 

Dinner and a visit with Bill and Marge.  Friends for over forty years.

 

5,530 miles since Port Aransas.

 

 

Tuesday

Rolled down Highway 26, diagonally southeast through Wyoming and Nebraska, through Torrington and Scottsbluff, to Ogallala.  Saw a bald eagle on the way.  Weather front coming in.  Windy today.  Looks like three days of rougher weather coming up.

 

Elevation 3,200 feet.  A little warmer.  The air should be able to hold a little more moisture here.

 

5,750 miles.

 

Life on the road.
