That's how many we saw in less than 45 min on Hwy 14 over the Bighorn Mtns at dusk in Wyoming. Wow.
Today was a pretty much driving day after we left Margarita and Don's place but we slacked off a bit in Cody WY and are now about 3 hrs behind schedule in driving. Sierra Trading Post's outlet store was a MAJOR disappointment but that meant cheaper. I got a new salmon (sort of) long sleeved shirt with SPF of 30 and a nice texture. And that was all. Cody is a nice little very western town with the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum and a re-enactment of a gunfight in the street at 6 PM. Dinner was lovely and Italian. Stopped in a few shops to look at photographs, smell the boots, and check out jewelry. It never hurts to look, does it?
Tomorrow will be a huge push (how would Linda drive?) and hopefully get us well into MN for the night. Stanley Kutler has asked to meet us for breakfast instead of brunch because he needs to take a bus down to Chicago for a play that is being produced soon, this in addition to the HBO special he is consulting on about Watergate. Wow quite the life!
The vistas are amazing, the size and color and varied shapes of rocks and formations. Passed a granite formation today that was 2.5 billion years old. That's what the sign said. We took a lot of pictures.
Because we are running late, there will be no time for Mt. Rushmore. Which is OK by me as I am getting accustomed to having fewer people around. There are times on the road when we are the only car that we can see.
Lots of cattle ranches. Lots of horses. Some sheep.
Overall the weather has been great. Not too hot so we don't run the a/c all the time. Only a bit of a sprinkle this evening.
I'm not tired of saying "wow!" because things are different each time we turn a corner in the road and there could be something totally amazing appearing in front of us. So I will continue to say "wow" and "that's so amazing" and other expressions of incredulity.
Tomorrow the music will include the Lovin' Spoonful and Donna Summer. We are doing a lot of singing and a lot of talking. It is still a good trip, except for the minor nervousness about getting to Madison on time.
