Moving on, hope these posts are not getting boring, but I wanted to share our awesome trip.
We drove from Flaming Gorge to Manila, Wyoming. Went from the rugged mountains and remoteness, to rolling valleys and plains. Lots of ranches, with sturdy black cattle and mounds of hay ready for the winter. We ended up sleeping in a truck stop beside H'way 1/80. There was a bitter, howling wind and the trucker's cafe was closed so we sat in the front of the van, sipped some beer and brandy, listened to the radio and watched the trucks roll on by till it was dark enough to sleep. We slept like babies...
In the morning, the cafe was open so we went in for breakfast. The pregnant waitress was outside in the wind having a smoke, then she came in and we got a huge breakfast with the other truckies.
The sunset that night was magic, it filled the whole sky and went on forever. I took some little video snips from the front of the car, funny memories. I have about a half hour of video of the whole trip, probably not possible to share on Uhh...plus it is very amateurish, but fun for our family.
Moving on, hope these posts are not getting boring... (
