Patty's Visit





Yesterday we went to the Railroad Museum and the Pioneer Museum; back to the RV to walk the dogs then on to Ayers Natural Bridge. One picture is Patty in front of the original RV - a pioneer wagon. The other photo is the ceiling and lights in an old railroad car - pretty fancy.

Today we started out for Fort Fetterman. Golly Garmin told us to turn left but I knew better and turned right. It recalculated and I turned onto I-25 instead of continuing on for about a block to turn onto the correct road. So, now we're on I-25 and we turn off at the exit it tells us to and onto a dirt road. Not so bad. We kept driving and the road kept getting more narrow. Now there are big ruts in the now one-lane road and I'm having to drive way over to avoid high-centering poor Sally Saturn. We stop to take a picture of a herd of antelope that appear to never have seen humans before as they're all staring at us. We keep going. Now you can barely see the road; the ruts are deeper and the grass is getting higher and higher. Doesn't appear to have been any traffic on this "road" for a looooong time. Golly Garmin tells us to continue on the "road" (no name - just road). Okay, now we can see a highway way off to our right but can we get there or is the road going to end or will we come to a fence with a locked gate. At this point I'm ready to cut the fence down. Not sure how far we actually travelled on this road but we finally came to two-lane dirt road that takes us to Highway 59 - the highway we would have been on if I had continued one block further than where we turned onto Hwy 25. Now Patty can't say I don't show her a good time and a lot of scenery.

Karen, only thing you need to do is to pack a lunch,... just in case. I love that kind of adventure.
