Breakfast yesterday was a long time ago ... (I don't remember)

When we are doing our morning RV check I notice someone in a car close by sitting up, taking off their shades, look around and then pull out. That nights rest didn't cost him much ... where'd he stay? The Comfort Inn ... just not inside the Comfort Inn.

The Port Of Entry is open in Cheyenne again. No line. We know the routine. All they need is our over width permit and our plate number. Yes, we need an over width permit because of the awning. Once the RV is sold, it becomes a non-commercial vehicle and a permit is not needed.

Stopped in Laramie at the new Loves for Fuel. It wasn't open two-three weeks ago when we came through.

The Country Pride / TA in Rawlins is food for today. This locations has hot food plus the soup and salad bar. Plenty to eat. One of the soups was 'Chicken White Chili.' I tried it, no beans, just a little chicken in potato soup ... and chili powder. My lips still were sore hours later.

Saw our first wildlife today other than birds. A few deer, that's what they call them out here, they are not white-tail. The ones prior to today have all been roadkill.

Last stop today was at Cruel Jack's. Usually we get some fuel here but neither of us needed any this time. So just a break, this one we turned into a half hour for DOT reasons. Good A&W on a hot day.

When we pulled out of Rock Springs I could see clouds in the west ... but then I realized they looked like the clouds from the Allen King plant. A ways down the road and we couldn't see the other side of the valley in places.

Plan had been to make it past Salt Lake today but the winds had been just less than what would shut us down. The next two hours would be more of the same at the end of a lot day. The fact the motel here was $50 less than past Salt Lake also played into our staying.

After fueling, gas was $.20 a gallon less here than SLC, we checked into the Quality Inn next door. I asked when we checked in if they would take off the safe charge. I couldn't see what the person did, but then they gave me a receipt just showing the total. I left it at that.

Then we walked back to the Flying J and Subway. The bar we ate at last time (during the football game) was too loud and the steakhouse was to pricey.

The whole outdoors smells like a bon fire.
