Fun day driving with mountains in the distance, paid $6.58 per gallon for regular gas in a remote area ( $2. More than normal). Walked into town in Rawlins for a great Thai dinner. Then, discovered that UBER drivers aren’t always available in the evening. Dry but hot weather. Moving south to Craig, Colorado tomorrow!
Passing thru this interesting country landscape, we enjoy driving thru corn, sunflowers sugar beer and wheat fields and farmlands as we round the bend and see the Big Horn Mountains …..climbing and enjoying amazing vistas.
Enjoying this beautiful part of the country, the miles of wheat fields, sunflowers , corn and grain silos and a few oil wells! Staying in Medora, ND to enjoy the National Park and see the Medora Musical! Warm dry weather, low gas prices (comparatively) and the Missouri River……..
It has been a wonderful week, albeit one with colds! Discovered how wonderful Walleye is, what ( local specialty from upper Wisconsin/Michigan)- hand thatched wild rice tastes like with maple syrup and milk ( soooo heavenly). Enjoyed a very special time and wonderful meals with old colleagues from Germany days in Webster, Wisconsin, glimpsing the Northern Woods from a local, home boy perspective. And the lakes, everywhere!!! Do want to return, but only IN SUMMER. Then over into Minnesota, staying in Bemidji. Each state has its own flavor and charm. Crossed the Mississippi River and now as John says, we are in the West! Friendly, hearty wonderful people here with a strong Tribal sense of Identity and history. Staying in Bismarck, ND on our way to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park for a few days of adventuring. It’s been warm overall but as I write a big hail strong is upon us…..What an amazing Country we live in! Love this area.
