Finally Out West

We are in Buffalo, Wyoming and finally it feels like we are "out west". The vistas are grand and wide open and not all cluttered up with trees and buildings. The air is fresh and just smells great, especially the pine trees. You can look down the highway and see where you will be in 15 minutes. You can watch the weather as is sweeps across the sky. Yesterday it was still 90 degrees at 8 pm but tonight you need a jacket and an extra blanket, make for great sleeping. It's not so cold that it keeps Joy from not wanting ice cream. She's off right now to the campground's ice cream social which is a double whammy with both ice cream and a social. That's my Joy.

We've had a great trip and driving the rig with the new truck is a dream. Both the mileage and diesel fuel prices are a bit of a disappointment but the power and comfort more than make up for it. The long hills are easy.

Well here she comes and she decided to forego the ice cream and the social. The was only one old guy and she actually decided she didn't need ice cream.

Joy deeply regrets that she placed Dan's childhood in South Dakota instead of where it belongs in Minnesota. Your talking about only 10 miles or so but I guess that's important.
