North to Alaska!

 

Now we’re traveling in earnest.  They’ve got big long roads in Wyoming too.  Overall, the highway in Wyoming has been good.  We even noticed some old busted concrete freeway being replaced with nice smooth asphalt.  Driving Texas highways, we see the signs about hurricane evacuation routes.  Driving Wyoming, we see signs about “road closed when flashing” to turn traffic around during blizzards.

 

It has been a good pronghorn day.  All day long we could pick them out on the hillsides.

We’re celebrating an anniversary of sorts.  One year-ago today, I was wheeled-in pre-dawn for open heart surgery.  Today, we’re frolicking down the highway on our way to Alaska!  How amazing is that?  We are very thankful that this could be.

 

Now we’re at Mikesell-Potts Recreation Area County Park at Lake DeSmet.  Dry camping; no hookups. src=157616970409.17356.10535000612059502165@Feluria.aswdev.localF2C00" style="width:5.775in;height:3.8416in" width="554"/>

 

I think we did okay finding our spot.
