Wednesday - Travel Day 2

Well - spent the night last night with Jerry and Annette in Goodland. Always great to see them - and the room rate for the night was perfect. Only place in Kansas that you can sleep under the stars no matter what the weather is!

I had worried that the truck might be overweight, but we weighed in at 14,500 lbs -weight limit on the truck is 16,000 lbs.

Today we made it to Evanston Wyoming. Statistics for the trip so far:

• Miles traveled - 950


• Diesel Fuel Purchased - $415.00


• Miles per Gallon - about 10


• Number of stops - many, old people go to the bathroom often


• Herds of Antelope - 5 numbering at least 100, 1 group of 50, 1 group of 25 (several resting by the side of the road)


• Deer - 25 in one group - 1 all by him/her self.


• Snow - lots on the ground, but none in that air and so far all roads clear


• Wind - all across Wyoming


• Fabric YoYo's constructed 18


• Pounds lost due to jiggling in the truck - at least 5! Each!


• 3 way stations


• 1 port of entry


• One dead end parking lot with snowbank to back into - successfully extraction was a team effort!
