Ok .. first things first. I have updated Trevor’s and my blogs settings to do two things. First, I think I corrected the time on the posts. I won’t bore you with the details. The second improvement was to add a menu at the top of each blog so that you can navigate to each of the blogs. You should not have to hit the Back key any longer.

Now that that’s over, I can get on with what we did today. Totally boring as you’ll discover. But I hope you like the minimal pictures I took today.

Actually slept in until 6am today. But since we were in the Mountain Time Zone, it was more like 5am. Anyway, it was light enough to wake me up. Managed to get Trevor up pretty easily, surprisingly enough. Where we stayed, we got a free hot breakfast. What I mean by free is that they charged us more for the room than if we went somewhere else that didn’t have a free breakfast. But when the guy behind the counter said biscuits and gravy .. well .. that was it. No, that’s not all I had, but .. ok .. this is what I had.

See .. I do eat more than that. However, for you lovers of biscuits and gravy, this one’s for you.

As we were leaving, something caught my eye, so I took a picture of it.

Of course, you may know him as Mater’s Cousin! :O)

Finally, we can get on the road. It was a reall nice drive. No too mountainous for me. We were north of the major portion of the Rockies. It was like we were at the top of the world. Pretty flat driving, but you knew you were at a high elevation. It was weird, though, that I crossed the Continental Divide twice. Once at 6920 ft and another at 7000 ft. I have no idea why it would be at least 10 miles apart. I’ll have to look that up some time.

But, that’s why I love driving. It’s not so much the destination, but the drive itself. Mabe you’ll get an idea of what I mean when I say we left Evanston, WY and next stopped in Big Springs, NE. That’s 500 miles of nonstop driving. Call me crazy, but it was an easy drive.

I then called the wife and, for some reason she seemed pleased to hear my voice. We drove another 200 miles and are now in Grand Island, Nebraska.

Tomorrow we should end up in Racine, WI where I have relatives. I’m hoping to drive through Rockton, Illinois as well, getting some pictures of a small town I know, as well as some houses, if I can find them. But I’ll explain all of that tomorrow.

Until then, have a good night.
