We pulled into the garage about 5:20 pm this afternoon. Within about ten minutes Nina was in her pajamas, a very good indication that she wasn’t going back out again, no matter what. I was in agreement with that thought as well.

We had some fairly dicey roads as we left Laramie and passed a couple of pretty serious-looking accidents as we left the city. Nina was the driver this morning from Laramie to Green River and handled the roads very well. One interesting note from the drive, though. As we were getting close to Rock Springs, Wyoming, we were listening to the weather from the National Weather Service on my ham radio. The car sensor said the outside temperature was 16° but the weather report said the temperature in Rock Springs at the airport was 30°. We both commented on the interesting discrepancy because our car temperature sensor is usually pretty close. However, over the next couple of miles, we watched the outside temperature increase rapidly to 36°. We definitely were driving through a weather front and found that both the car and the weather report were correct!

No further weather on the rest of the drive. We stopped at my favorite brother‘s place in Green River for a couple of hours then drove to Soda Springs and visited with mother for a bit and then drove home. The tracking process worked as expected. Our daughter Dawnmarie texted us as we visited with mother that she saw we were in Soda Springs and to say hello to her grandmother.

Some statistics from the trip:

• 4,263 miles round trip.
• 176.784 gallons of gasoline
• 24.7 miles per gallon (this is a correct number)
• $442.70 spent on gasoline
• $2.506 average cost for gasoline
• $2.699 highest price paid in Mentor, Ohio
• $2.179 lowest price paid in Cheyenne, Wyoming

Ta ta for now!
