Hi Deb,
welcome back! I take it the weather sometimes was bad? to make for those two
"very long and treacherous days"? since having driven that route a number of
times, I know in fair weather, the days are long and boring, and the risk is only
from those who fall asleep while driving! Still, you made very good time and
must have, erhem, been putting the pedal to the metal now and then...
I'm glad you're settling in and that there are no 'skyscrappers' in Fort Collins and
that the mountains and grasses once you reach Cheyenne are still that beautiful
and intensely colored and the snowflakes still the soft drift of a hand.
All the best to you in your new place/life,
Rebecca
