Day 1

Ok, well of course I put this picture up here for you to feel sorry for me. I had visions of stopping on the side of the road and taking pictures of buffalo roaming the plains of Wyoming but instead I was stuck in a line of cars (can't see them can you - neither could I) creeping our way west. But let me start at the beginning. I began the trip early this morning around 6:30. I saw a beautiful sunrise with a crescent moon rising right before the sun - I hope some of you got to see that too. Colorado, specifically Denver was great to drive through. I hope I get to spend more time in that city - possibly a future assignment! Leaving Denver tho, it started to become very windy and didn't let up like I thought it might when I turned west in Cheyenne, Wyoming. And then I encountered what you see in the picture and so I white knuckled my way through most of the southern part of the state. When I finally got through the storm I found that Wyoming isn't such a bad state at all and I will try my hardest not to hold a grudge. Thanks for all the calls and comments - keep them coming - hopefully tomorrow will bring a more positive blog!! LOVE
