Wyoming Has Warts!




There were some interesting land formations that look like warts on our route today.

It was a mostly dry looking day, both no rain and no greenery.

Then we came upon some beautiful green landscapes and off in the distance was a thunderstorm. It was fascinating to watch the lightning as long as it stayed so far away. Gary kept saying, "I hope we aren't going to be driving into that storm."




We did drive into rain, but no thunder or lightning yet. You can tell Gary grew up in rain country. After we arrived at Salt Lake City, he decided it was time to wash the RV and CR-V. It was pretty dirty from last night's rain on top of all the dust of Gillette, but washing it in the rain? You have to be from Astoria to do that!

We came upon more telephone poles and I realized how much I'll miss them when they are all gone. They bring back memories of childhood as Dad drove us thru endless miles of farmland in Montana and North Dakota where the only thing to see was telephone poles and Burma Shave signs. I already miss the Burma Shave signs.


After noticing Rest Areas on our trip, we have decided Idaho has the most beautiful designs. Their buildings are gorgeous. Wyoming has only a few rest areas, but lots of these signs where you can pull over to take a break. Nice for the dogs, but we were sure happy we had the Motorhome for that purpose on today's ride!
