BEST LAID PLANS.
Day 15 – Beginning of Week 3. Last week we put 1,245 miles on the RV and travelled from eastern Iowa, through the rest of IA, NE, WY, UT & some of ID, visiting 5 states & staying at 6 different campgrounds. We saw lots of farmlands, went to a National Wildlife Refuge & a Migratory Bird Sanctuary, camped at 8,500 breathless ft. in the Medicine Bow National Forest among the Vedauwoo rock formations, saw an exhibition on the artifacts found in the sunken Bertrand (a circa 1864 steam/paddlewheeler), got waylaid by high winds the day after nearly being blown over during a strange wind storm at Lake Ogallala, saw the Great Salt Lake & the Snake River, got kicked off the Interstate due to a wildfire, and drove through scenery that knocked our socks off. Snow-capped mountains, rolling hills, trees, lakes, flatlands, farms, antelope, cows, horses, & many birds. After the scenery we saw this past week, we can’t wait to see what is in our future. Can it live up to this?

SNOWY MOUNTAIN PEAKS, RIVER GORGES, AND A WILDFIRE.
Day 14 – It rained most of the night. When we got up at 7:30 a.m. it was cloudy, 44 degrees, and a light wind. We were not in a big hurry to leave this morning; our drive shouldn’t be too long today. Rob put the Utah sticker on the travel map. We will definitely explore Utah more at another time; the northern part was just incredibly beautiful.
