September 14, 2014 Back road nirvana


Sunday September 14, 2014

 Sometimes, I feel I have to help my human operate the little house that moves.  It might not look like much, but it is exhausting.

 

It was a cold morning.  We turned on the heat and it was at least 30 minutes before we got out of bed.  But we finally did.  Spouse went to check on the little kitty at the cabin.  He brought her food and water and she was as sweet as ever.  Before we left, he made sure there was lots of food and water under the patio of the cabin.  As we left, we did not see her.  We know the girl in the office was going to try and find a home for her so she may have already caught her.   Who knows... this time, we will not be turning around to go get her.  Rudy is our boy and he likes being king.

 It was almost 11 am before we pulled away.  One of the people in the RV park is having the same problem with getting his trailer to raise up as we are.  Spouse is giving him lessons on manually cranking.  I am afraid the guy will have a heart attack.  He is about 100 pounds overweight and he is having to work to get this done. 

  For us, we are back onto hwy 44 west to Rapid City where we caught 79 south to 18 to 85 to...  From Badlands, there really is no direct route out so the back roads are our path and they are beautiful.  I have to say this... the east has its pretty points, but the west has the WOW factor.  The west is open, it is vast, it is ...  WOW!

 We leave South Dakota into the range of eastern Wyoming, where the deer and the antelope play.  Ok, we only see antelope, sobeit.   Spouse wants to do some work on Hannah so we stop near the town of Laramie.  Rudy has been helping with the driving.  He keeps Spouse's right arm steady...

The RV park where we are is in the middle of nowhere.  The plains are the view from the back window.  There are lots of people that will be here for the next year on a project having to do with oil.  They are all cat people.  The kids were all over Rudy and I met one of the ragdoll cats - a cutey.  I cheated on Rudy once again...

 

And Spouse washed the mud off the truck and Hannah.  Won't we look pretty when we head to Colorado!

 And many thanks to my dear friends who are tending my gardens and fixing the hoses that are exploding in the intense heat.
