Great day at Yellowstone National Park. We left the hotel this morning at 9 AM and 62 degrees and headed west. Cody, WY is about 50 miles outside the east gate to the park. There is literally next to nothing for accommodations between Cody and the park, save a couple of small lodges. So we are making this trek in and out each day. The drive to the park is probably the most visually interesting thing we saw today. OMG. The road weaves through Buffalo Bill Sta...

Steve was up and raring to go early this morning, so we left at 8 and 61 degrees and headed for Cody, WY, which is where we will stay for the next three nights while we visit Yellowstone NP. I didn't know what to expect from Wyoming. I had not been here since 1966 and have little memory of driving through it. I will admit, I didn’t expect much.We headed north and into prairie country, a landscape of rolling hills of yellow grass, shaded by blotchy pat...

It was a long day of driving through more farmland today. We left Lincoln at 8:00 and 64 degrees. As soon as we got on the road, it was easy to see that we would be back in the corn fields for another day. It appears that this part of the state has been suffering from drought. The medians and the areas by the roadside were yellow from a lack of water, and some fields were straining for life, where the corn stalks were small and yellowish and some plants had ...

If I said corn again today, would you believe me? I'm not lyen’ , honest. We left Davenport, Iowa at 8:00 AM and 64 degrees. We got an early start today because we were up early, thanks to the time change. So, off we went, down the interstate, headed for Lincoln, Nebraska. We drove well over 300 miles through…ah…you guessed it, corn fields. I am now loving these corn fields. They are pretty, with the golden corn flowers blooming on each ...

Corn, corn and more corn. And that is the word for the day. We left Troy, MI at 8:25 and a very chilly 57 degrees. But we dressed for warm weather, and we gambled correctly, because when we arrived in Iowa, it was a comfortable 77. Getting out of the Detroit area during rush hour was a bit of a challenge, but we didn't lose too much time. It had to be expected, given the time of day. I found the road very interesting. There were tall concrete walls, yellowe...
