BYGTWSO!-Day 45


We got up, packed up, and left Des Moines, headed for home. K has a cold so I drove the whole way. We crossed Iowa, we crossed Nebraska, and then we entered Wyoming, that windy state with wild weather. Our reward for 630 miles of driving was the Hampton Inn! Dinner wasn't so good--Taco John's (he loves it, I don't). I told K that from now on Taco John's would have to be a special place that only he goes to when he feels like treating himself.

On Saturday, we drove Highway 130 which is a Scenic Byway. We saw a big group of wild horses running and it was so beautiful! It got down to fifty degrees, but that's Wyoming for ya! We made it home Saturday afternoon having logged 3,250 miles. I drove the whole way again until we crossed the Utah border. K drove from Echo to home. We've been so blessed on all our trips this summer with safety, protection, and a vehicle that doesn't break down. We've had SO much fun! We've learned a ton of new things. I believe we hit nine NPS sites on this trip so of course, we love our annual pass--such a bargain. All our family all summer has been so hospitable. And that's a wrap for our Midwest Adventure!
