Day 3 of the move to Portland

Yesterday we made it to Cheyenne, WY and had dinner with Robin, a friend we originally met in Texas. Mileage was much better on Sunday due in part to a tail wind instead of a head wind and I tried to keep the speed at 60. We managed a respectable 12+ MPG for the day.

Tonight we are in Ogden, UT. Our original plan was to stop here for the night but, I had hoped to make another 120 or so miles today. When we stopped at around 5PM for gas the Flying J computers were acting up, so we could not fuel up, which kind of told me we should just call it a day. The Comfort Suites was at the same exit just on the other side of the road, so we decided to just get fueled up in the morning and hit the road early. The scenery was really great today, Linda managed to fill the memory card in the camera before lunch! We had to offload the card at the rest area so she could take a bunch more. There were lots of prong horn antelope next to the the highway and there was a fair amount of snow next to the road where the snow fences had piled it up pretty deep over the winter.

We saw several wind farms in Wyoming & Utah today and they were pretty impressive.
