Hello from Colorado!

After what many people describe as an excruciating drive across Wyoming (gotta love I-80) I arrived in Colorado Springs. I actually didn’t mind the drive, I needed the time to think and figure some things out – and the 8 hours went by fairly quickly for me. I think the town of Green River (in the western half of the state) is perhaps one of the most the only interesting bit – it looks exactly like Southern Utah, all redrock and greenery. Quite strange, really. Reminded me of my trip to Zion National Park. The rest of Wyoming was really just miles and miles of flat, prarie-looking stuff. There were cows, and I even saw an antelope (I think, deer-looking animal with enormous antelopey horns). Because it is still early in the spring, the grasses were green and new. So, while my cell-phone service was shoddy, at least the scenery was pleasant – if not stunning. (I’ve driven through Wyoming in the late summer and everything is a depressing shade of brown. And after 8 hours most people would be about ready to jump out the window).

JenKneeBee and I have had a great time here in “The Springs.” Of course, I forgot my camera cords – so I can’t download any of my pictures until the weekend. (Boo!) I promise to fill you in on all our (mis)adventures!
