After that, it was into the car for a LONG day of driving. Our destination was Nebraska, so that we could end up on Kansas for Jarrett's family reunion on Friday. The beginning of the drive was amazing. Utah was just beautiful.
We stopped to get the Wyoming sign. We missed quite a few on this trip because it was hard to stop with the RV and the Jeep.
We've been through Wyoming before, on a trip back from South Dakota. That time, the wind had been so strong that it ripped the awning off of the RV. I was worried about running into the same type of thing but this time, the trouble was the heat. It was so hot in Wyoming, and just hilly enough, that we overheated every twenty minutes or so. For a large part of the trip, Jarrett could only go about 35 mph.
By the time we got to Cheyenne, we had decided to drop the RV off at home. Going all the way into Castle Rock would only add an hour onto our drive time and we'd easily make it up when we were able to drive the speed limit again. It was a sad end to the trip. We didn't tell the kids where we were going, the were shocked when they got out to see the new campsite and we were home! I tried to get pictures but none of them came out- the kids were so excited, they couldn't stop moving.
Riley was sad that the trip was ending. James was happy to see his stuffed animals and his room. Kelly was scared to sleep alone, he had gotten used to big brother. He was tired enough to finally crash though, they were pretty happy to have their comfortable beds back.
