Colorado

We had a cat circus in the truck today. It seems as if they think whatever is outside the cab of the truck is so much better than being with us. They try to escape at every opportunity. We removed the the barrier again since it isn’t working anyway. Penny and Samantha fight over the console and Helen wants in on the fun but has no where to go. She walked the tightrope that was the armrest. At one point Samantha was laying on top of Penny because she was taking up all the space. We also enjoyed the cat choir. They were “singing” their displeasure at being held captive. I especially enjoy when we slow down or stop. Even sneezing brings about a round of the chorus.

We had wonderful views traveling from Monument Valley to Silt, Colorado. The temperatures were reasonable and the stops were few. We saw Mexican Hat (the last picture) and many other formations. The scenery went from red rocks to sandy soil and finally trees. We thought we might see some rain but it was just sprinkles. The picture with the flag was at our fuel stop.

We are safely in Silt for the night. This week is a hard week. We have several one night stops and those are always difficult because of all the work to get ready to go down the road. Tom assures me after this week things will get better. I’m not so sure. But I’ll hold out hope.

Tomorrow is a short drive, only 4 hours, and a game at the end of the day. Then we’ll be heading towards Nebraska.

Our circus adventure is finished for today. Helen, Samantha and Penny are happily sleeping in the bedroom and we’ll be joining them soon. I hope your adventure today was a good one.
