Haiku the easy way
It rained, hailed, blew, rage
Eastern Wyoming predict-
Ably in the spring
Crossed Colorado and Wyoming today. Colorado traffic was bad, Wyoming weather matched it, though.
Missed THE food and fuel exit in Cheyenne... ok, gas in Chugwater.
THE gas station I'm Chugwater burned down in 2012 when the owner set his car on fire and drove it into the store
9 people unemployed, everyone drives to Wheatland for fuel. Unless you find the emergency guy --cans of gasoline in a storage building. He sold me a gallon or so for $10. I was glad to get.
Wyoming looks good in green. Normally it's dust-color. North Platte running more than full. And the smell -- sagebrush and alfalfa after being pummeled by hail exude an intoxicating aroma. Nothing like it.
Motel tonight. New rule: never pitch a tent at the end of a day that includes 400 miles of brutal crosswind, hail, and Temps in the mid 40s.
G'night from Sheridan.
PS, Clark... Casper offers good coffee at exactly the crucial moment.
good decision on the room. Safe travel my friend.
