Friday

Out the door at 6am, looked around for all our new friends from the night before and NOTHING!
The whole town was still sleeping. We were hysterical. Decided to fill the tank and hitnthe road. Left WY, and into Montana.
YUCK! I don't like Montana....where are all the cows? It's totally unkept, junk all over the place, people use their yards like a giant garbage, scrap metal pit. Nothing is blooming, trees hardly have buds. It was as if this state was not thriving in anything, and showed no pride.

Oh, I need to back up to Thursday with another question. If our Paleontologist friend, Win is still tuning in.....
There was a long stretch yesterday when we noticed the land change a lot. It took on a redish color in the soil, even the road. And the landscape too, no rolling fields, but semi flat terrain with what looked like giant ant hills. Actually, I will confess here and tell you Mic said ant hills, I was thinking perky breasts. It really was a drastic change for a while and we wondered what happened there. I think it was the south west part of South Dakota. Before all you wise guys take a crack at me, NO THE COWS WERE NOT RED TOO!
Win? Anyone???

Fridays music, which is always blasted when I'm driving. michaela liked a more quiet, contemplative ride when she drove.

A small change in plan. michaela has decided to take a flight home as she has a family commitment on Saturday.
David has graciously stepped in and taken her place and tomorrow we will drive home from Spokane. Should be an easy drive, after all, it's only one state!
David also found an amazing hotel in Spokane, The Davenport. What a nice surprise.

  1. So I finally found a geo map of where you were... There are Paleosols, or in other words fossil soils. So even though they have been compressed to be rocks, as they were once soil, they are very soft relative to surrounding rocks. They weather easily and the red color is form oxidization of the iron in the soils.
