Western Wyoming: This is our last night in WY for, like as not, another 7+ months. The nights have started dropping below freezing - yes, in September - and we saw our first snow in Yellowstone yesterday. It was a dusting on the northern, shady side of road cuts above 8000 ft..
Time for us snowbirds to fly away to somewhere warm. The man who preceeded me in the barber’s chair this afternoon said to our barber, “I’ll see you in the spring.” I asked where he was headed and the answer was Florida, I said I go to CA, and our barber who lives in WY year-round probably was envious.
Absent mechanical or health issues, we’ll be at our vacation home in CA on Sunday afternoon. We make the journey in a leisurely fashion, averaging less than 250 miles a day. We could do it in 2 long days but why be miserable? As retirees, we’re in no particular hurry. Driving gets boring after about 4 hours. All three of our overnites are in NV, one on each edge and one in the middle.
Blog posts will probably be sparse until we arrive, it’s a trip we’ve made so many times we don’t often see much that provokes comment. Just a lot of land with nobody on it, mile after featureless mile.
