Warmer
It was so nice to hear from all three children on Mother's Day. Any day I hear from them is a good day!
We awoke Monday morning to alomost 2 inches of snow and a blizzard. Harry loved playing and sniffing in the snow but it was COLD. I could identify with women who were headed west with their husbands and had come from snug homes in the east! But we waited for the snow to stop and hooked up the trailer and got back on I-80. The road was dry and traffic light but in a few hours we caught up to the storm. So since we needed to travel north anyway, we left the interstate and the storm and drove toward Casper, Wy. I didn't want to get out of the truck even for lunch but when the tempterature reached 40 we found a place to pull over and make our lunch. The farther we drove north, the better the weather became. We saw hundreds of antelope along the road. We drove past Independence Rock where the emigrants carved names in the rock as they passed thru. Our route was full of history and if we would have stopped at each interesting spot, we'd still be out there. When we got to Casper it was raining hard. We pulled into an RVpark right on the North Plate river and next to Ft. Casper. Unfortunately, it was the muddiest place in the state of Wyoming! Everytime I took Harry out both he and I came back so muddy! It was awful! Enough said about that!
Tonight we are alomost in South Dakota and we have had a wonderful driving day. It's been warm, in the 50's and sunny! Instead of the mud tonight, we have a train next to the RVpark.
We are in Newcastle, Wy. We are having a good time!
