Saddle up, partner, we're going to Winterset.

Marion Robert Morrison

It's no wonder he changed his name.

Umbrellas

We were the ones that needed those umbrellas. Cara and I both got sunburned at the game, Cara much worse than me.

It was H-O-T out there--In the mid-90s at game time and very sticky. Thankfully the wind picked up and the breeze gave us some relief every now and then.

Sec Taylor Stadium

Soaked

Wow! What a downpour. Over 3 inches of rain in less than 12 hours.

We were all outside for only about 30 seconds in an ill-advised attempt to go out to eat and got completely drenched. I thought it was hilarious--some other people (*cough*Sherri*cough*) didn't think it was very funny!

If You Build It, They Will Come

Sherri, T.J., and Kristina watching the baseball game at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa.

Ted played in the game and got an RBI double to left field and later scored on a single to right. He says that it was the highlight of his trip so far, but he did admit that he was "a little winded after running the bases."

My My, Hay Hay

My my, hay hay
Nebraska hay fields are here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away

Welcome to Scenic Wyoming

Wyoming finally got a little scenic once we were close to Laramie.

It's All Uphill From Here

Somewhere in Wyoming.

Elway's Dealership in Denver

Buy a Car From Biff.

Winton, Pt. 2

Not a great picture, but it was as good as I could do while trying to drive at the same time.

Winton, Pt. 1

Wow! What a surprise to see a Winton automobile cruising (albeit very slowly) down I-80 in Wyoming. I just about wet my pants when I saw it and quickly pulled over on the side of the road so that I could get my camera ready to take some pictures.

"Hungery" for Subway

The Subway sign in Jerome, Idaho. We left happy.

Snake River

Crossing the Snake River. The picture turned out well considering that we were moving at about 80MPH and I had very little time to get the sign in the picture.

Long and Winding Road

We saw plenty of this scene during our 11+ hours of driving to Ogden, Utah from Vancouver.

Packed and Ready to Go

Whew! I finally got all of my luggage packed. Now I can get my 4 hours sleep before driving the 12 hours to Ogden.
