It is now Friday and time to head for home. The return trip will be broken into three 8-hour days of driving. This tends not to be our best time - together. For whatever reason, Jennifer becomes a tiny bit anxious when I am driving and (it is always the "and" part that really gets her going) eating, getting something out of the back seat, looking at the map and oh so many other things to past the time. I have assured her that I can do many things at once, but she doubts...
Most of the day looked like this. Buy your gas early and start getting nervous at about 1/2 a tank because it is a long ways between watering holes. I remember reading this in grand pappy's diary as he would wear out a horse in the morning and then need to trade with the Native American Blackfeet by noon to continue his journey. Made 578 miles to Sheridan, WY-- all without serious incident. See Paul for a full recounting of the less serious events that transpired.
