More about our great adventure west–catch up on Part 1 if you like. Sorry, these are kinda boring.
The route
It was long. Real long.
It was nice to see so much of the country, especially so much I haven’t seen before (most of our family trips were East or South), and I would have liked to spend a little more time exploring but the animals required us to stay in or near the car. Maybe next time! Here are some photos of roads and scenery.
Not much in Illinois or Iowa but farms n’ windmills. N’ trucks.
Very ominous clouds in Wyoming. (photo by Richard)
Brilliant sunset in Wyoming. (photo by Richard)
Dust storm! in Wyoming. (photo by Richard)
Mountains silhouetted against the sunset in Utah(ish?)

I can’t imagine that drive! 13 hours is my max, I believe, for one day. Heck, for longer than that. OMG.
