On the ROAD days 10 & 11

Hmmmmmm..........
Hmmmmmm..........

As Dorthy would say;

"We ain't in Kansas anymore!"

Days 10 & 11 were major travel days.......left Buffalo, NY early in the morning flying to Kansas City, MO........driving the mighty Toyota through rain & 30 mph head winds to Johnson Lake State Park in Elwood, NE........getting into campsite at 8:30 PM where we quickly hooked up the electricity (between rain drops) and went to bed. We woke to 40 mph winds rockin the old RV, drank some coffee, ate breakfast & took off again for a supposedly 6 hour trip to Laramie, WY.........yeah right. The 6 hour trip turned into a 9 hour trip with the Mighty Toyota blasting its way through those 40 mph headwinds and climbing about 5000 feet in altitude. The last picture (above) is at the summit of 8500 feet where Darcie said "get a picture".........you'll notice in the 2nd picture above where she was during the picture........in fact.......she hasn't gotten out of the RV since the Pony Express office in NE at about 11:00 AM........yesterday.....We then proceeded to the KOA in Laramie......got our campsite.......opened the door of the Mighty Toyota........snow blowing sideways all over me as I hooked up the electric (first picture above).

We awoke this morning at 3 AM with the same 40 mph wind rockin the RV (at least the snow has stopped) and an interior temperature of 64 degrees.......however the temp in the compartment where the water pipes are was a balmy 24 degrees.....so needless to say the toilet would not flush until I opened up the bottom compartment doors and blew some of that 64 degree air inside. I decided to get up at 4:30 again and make the coffee..........right in the middle of the brewing the circuit breaker tripped so I had to turn off the heater until the coffee was done (priorities ya know).

We are hoping to take off today around 9:00 AM for our supposedly 6 hour trip to Salt Lake City.......yeah right........as far as I can tell we still have that 40mph headwind that now will be swirling around through the canyons.

Keep us in your prayers as we "HEAD WEST".

Will try to update tonight if we arrive early enough.
