63,020 Miles on Trailblazer
9:00 a.m. - On the road towards Wyoming in a beautiful morning with a temp of about 70 degrees and sunny clear skies. Had a good night sleep and ready to rock and roll.
11:30 a.m. - We are going through Twin Falls, Idaho and on our way to Pocatello,Idaho then down to Rock Springs Wyo. We talked with Eleanor and Barbara today and all is well with them. Barbara got to see her new "granddaughter" and give Andrew some support. Erika is still under the doctors care in the hospital, but is coming along good. It is a little warm here already at 83 degrees. This area is suppose to reach the high of 90 degrees today and I think they will make it.
1:30 p.m. - We are on I-15 south and headed for US 30 south to take us down to Rock Springs, WY. We are traveling between canyons and are now at an elevation of 4700 ft and climbing. It is 9
0 degrees and you would think it would be much cooler this high up.
0 degrees and you would think it would be much cooler this high up.3:45 p.m. - We crossed the Wyoming state line and we have the same cou
ntryside as we have been seeing for awhile. There is a small town called Georgetown that is nestled among the canyons and is very cute and clean. This area is a lot like the Altamont Pass in CA with the rolling hills except now we are at 6500 ft. but still 90 degrees! The government has come through here and built 8 ft. fences along the road so the deer cannot cross. Quite amazing. We talked with Lyle today and he is doing ok, just waiting for the tomato season to end. He keeps in touch and wants to know exactly where we are because he tracks us on the map.

We went through a dark cloud and got a few sprinkles on the windshield, but nothing much. Abby went freaky and we gave her some medicine to calm her d
own.
own. 7:30 p.m. - Walked across the street to eat at "Wingers" which is exactly what is sounds like a place where their specialty is hot wings. Was good food and interesting clientele. We are ready for the sack.
