Into Wyoming

We woke to clear blue skies on Wednesday and were surprised by an excellent full breakfast at Country Inn and Suites. That $104 Priceline deal got us a huge, comfortable room plenty of seating, fridge and microwave. Breakfast was served on real plates with stainless steel silverware. Homemade scrambled eggs and sausages and the usual fruit, juice, rolls, cereal and waffles. Coffee was delicious too.

We were on the road by 8:25 and rolled easily on I90, past all the Black Hills attractions and we were in Wyoming early in the morning, We decided against stopping anywhere to visit, knowing that we had almost 400 miles ahead of us.

I drove about 150 miles myself, some of it through road construction. I was starting to feel quite cocky and competent, which I was on the mostly wide open freeway. Not so in road construction, with narrow lanes and poor pavement.

By the time we got to Sheridan, I was ready to turn over the driving to Bob, who is unflappable under even the worst circumstances. We missed our rest stop so had lunch in a broiling parking lot, sitting in our air conditioned vehicle. A day old ham sandwich never tasted so good.
