Travel day

Thanks again to Bill and Marge for their hospitality. We got to see Marge’s brother and mother while we were there too. That was fun.

We took a walk around the farm and Annie found the farm pond. She was light brown all over when she went in. She came out two-toned; almost black underneath. That was one happy farm dog bouncing back to the house.

We’d rather be in the eighties than the nineties, so we headed north. We can watch the national weather map and let it push us north or south for the rest of the summer.

We’ll go where the weather wants us.

Wheatland to Glendo on Interstate 25. Through Shawnee and Lost Springs on Highway 20 to Lusk. North on Highway 85 to Newcastle for lunch in the Pamida parking lot. North on Highway 16 though Upton and across Interstate 90 at Moorcroft. The roads get smaller past Pine Haven and Keyhole State Park. A couple more turns and we’re at Devil’s Tower.


At the Devil’s Tower KOA.
