Getting closer to home . . .

As we drove today we saw a lot of nothing--dry land with brush and a very few trees. Lots of it was straight road, only the ups and downs created a break in the monotony. Then we came upon an accident where someone must have fallen asleep at the wheel. And a short time later we came upon a cow in the middle of the road. As we approached and some of the first cars we'd seen approaching all day showed up, the cow meandered slowly back to her calf who had decided to stay behind the fence. That was the big entertainment of the drive. Oh--plus the GPS got confused several times on the way and would have liked us to drive into a cliff a couple of times.



Elsie really doesn't like it when Gary drives over the bumps that keep you in your lane. She has pushed and squeezed and now rides completely under my legs and feet. It gets a bit crowded for me, but at least she hasn't pushed me out totally until the last half hour of each day's ride.


As Gary tried to pick out our camping spot for tonight (I know, luxury camping) he spotted this cat tied to a stake and realized we could not park next door to a cat. We moved on down next to a very nice couple with a new puppy. The dogs have been having a ball and haven't spotted the cat yet.
