We headed out this morning at 7:30 AM and 57 degrees with Colorado in our sights. We drove for three hours through southern Wyoming, and as we got further south, the topography got much more interesting than it was yesterday. As we have seen in the southwest, out of deserts rise great mesas, and we saw some today. They did not have the bright and variegated colors of the ones in the southwest…these were yellowish tan…but they look majestic nonethel...

Today was another moving day…a long drive from Great Falls, MT to Casper, WY. But before I get to that, I want to comment on last night's stay. I posted a few photos today that I could not load yesterday because of an challenged WIFI at the hotel, so I added them to this batch. Our hotel was located on the Missouri river which was right in our back yard, with lush green lawns and mature trees for shade. This was by far the best location of our hotel...

Happy Birthday, Scott. After a great night's sleep in our cushy suite, we got up early and hit the road, headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. We left at 7:35 AM and a chilly 47 degrees and turned the car south toward the US border. I will say, it did warm up as the day progressed and by the time we arrived at our hotel, it was 86 degrees and a good time to zip the legs off of my hiking pants. The drive began through more flat yellow prairie land an...

On this day I always recall lying in a hospital bed all day and all night, trying to give life to my first born son…it was a very long day, but he didn't arrive until the next morning. Happy Birthday, Scott. Tomorrow. Well, we gained another hour yesterday and that combined with a too-warm hotel room, we were up early and ready to hit the road.   We left at 7:55 and 59 degrees. Brrr.   We began the day driving through more fertile farmland. The...

We left Winnipeg this morning at 8:10 AM and 66 degrees. Winnipeg is the capitol of Manitoba. Since our hotel was on the west side of the city, and we got in late last night in rush hour traffic, we never did get to the Legislative Building (we call them Capitol Buildings in the US), or into the city proper. Poor planning on our part. Heading east this morning was not in the plan, so we hit the road and pointed the car west. Most of the day we were in farm c...
