THE LONGEST RIDE

607 miles today from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Burley, Utah. Wonderful scenery. Grass covered plains with prong horned antelope, cattle, early signs of Halliburton attacking the Barnett Shale (Google it) all across Wyoming. Temp down to 48, max altitude 10250 on Elk Mountain, way above the snow line. I would not want to be on I-80 this winter.

Then into Utah again with dramatic changes in scenery. Finally into Idaho. Sometimes we go 100 miles between gas stations or motels. We learned long ago not to drop below half a tank of gas. Anyway, a big beautiful country. Everybody should do this at least once. When I get a new seat, I may do it again.

Yesterday, we had lunch in Denver, with Brian. Chef's twin cousin!
