Bill was able to get his driver’s license renewed this morning and by 8:00, we were driving toward Loveland. It was cold, but the sky was clear. We felt fortunate to have picked a “good weather” time to travel.
When we got to Hot Springs, SD, we took time to drive around the town for a few minutes. It is a neat little place, with a huge VA complex, a National Cemetery, and a hot springs, of course. There were several very old, large hotels that seemed to cater to mineral baths.
When we went from South Dakota into Wyoming, I was asleep, so Bill didn’t do the usual state line celebration. He didn’t want to wake me up. Actually, he was probably enjoying the peace and quite, and wanted to prolong it as far into Wyoming as possible.
We basically took the same route as yesterday, but at one point turned to take a shortcut toward Gurnsey. The road wasn’t nearly as good, probably because there was so much truck traffic. Those heavy loads really can damage a road.
We ate lunch at Burger King in Wheatland before continuing on down I-25. Not long after going into Colorado (Honk, honk! Yahoo!), we arrived at home at 3:00.
Joey and Hapa had escaped from Michelle’s backyard and were waiting for us in the driveway by the motorhome. Joey knew we were coming. He heard the Honda before he saw it. He’s such a talented pooch!
