Monday Jan 26. We drove from Des Moines to Cheyenne Wyoming in weather that ranged from 9 above to -15. We stayed at the Days Inn in Cheyenne, which leaves a lot to be desired but was clean and warm. Dinner was Outback take out chicken breasts. In general the roads were clearexcept for about a half hour of snow, and then the windblown snow of western Nebraska and Wyoming. I took a picture of the sunset on the road in Western Nebraska. It was eerily beautiful, set in cloudy skies amid a flat expanse of land.
Tuesday, we are headed to Estes Park after looking around Cheyenne and visiting the world headquarters of Sierra Trading Post. The picture is of a cowboy statue at the State Capital in Cheyenne. Gas is cheap in Wyoming, about $1.45 per gallon. Dick Cheney was good to his home state.It is so cold, even Gus wanted to come inside. Next stop Estes Park.
