Day 17 - May 2, 2010

Greetings from Rock Springs, Wyoming!

We drove I25 from N. Denver north to Cheyenne and then are traveling west on the Interstate. Well, it has been quite a weather-filled day: snow, hail, snow, hail...you get the picture.

But God has gone before us even parting the clouds. We looked in our rear view mirror at one point and it was totally black skies behind us, but things weren't too severe in front of us.

Isn't God good!

We flinched a few times when the big trucks spit some rocks on our vehicles, but so far no observable damage. One of the fun things about traveling in old cars, is we make friends easily. People have been stopping outside our motel rooms to talk to us about the cars and asking "what in the world are we doing in Rock Springs, Wy?

Sights for today were: antelope, some oil wells, gas pipelines, llamas, mountain ranges covered with snow and even snow right alongside the road. Oh yes, did I mention it was snowing off an on most of the day?

We stopped for lunch in Rawlins, Wy. We tried to stop at one restaurant and the desk said it was closing in 10 minutes, so she recommended a different place in Rawlins. Our group has a very nice and relaxing lunch at Sanfords Grub & Pub. The restaurant was filled with gasoline station pumps and signs and had very good food. It was a first for the ladies to have a restroom that was diamond plated and had a television!

Buenos Noches from Rock Springs, Wy.
