Good morning everyone,
On the road and headed to Bozeman, Montana. Special appreciation goes to Fort Collins, Tynan’s Nissan Dealership for getting us a great Xterra rental for the next 5 weeks (Gary’s Xterra is having serious issues—possible wiring harness rust—and is grounded in Fort Collins). Appreciation to Ryan Hernandez in service for his generosity and excellent customer service. Thanks Ryan!
Ten hours of driving ahead of us. Going to be cloudy today. Our first stop is Glendo, Wyoming for breakfast. Only place in town is called Mikes (prounced mik-ees). Great food, great service.
When we lived in Wisconsin we made many, many trips to Fond du Lac to see my mom and the trek was close to two hours. We would play the “20 Questions” game and guess people. The time would fly and we’d laugh at how ridiculously quick or dim-witted we were in guessing “who.”
On this trip we played “What’s Yours Like?” In this game one person describes what “something” of theirs was like for example: Teeth. So you only make one statement and then see if the other person can guess what “it” is. So for “teeth” I said: 1) Some are sharp, 2) Some are real and some are fake, 3) Some have indentations, 4) Some are crooked and some are straight…. You get it. Then after each statement the other gets to guess what “it” is! Much more fun and much more difficult than you imagined.
From there we went on to “50 Questions.” Look it up online. Gary and I had a wonderful time learning more about each other with these questions like: What was your favorite outfit growing up?
Then on to audio books. I got my technology skills out and figured out the vehicles Bluetooth, book downloading, etc. We started with James Patterson’s Private Down Under. Let’s just say—James is graphic—but we are enjoying the book.
We arrived in Bozeman around 6:20 pm and checked in to our lovely room and then off to an Italian dinner where I had gluten free pizza (hold the dairy please). Wonderful!
Off to bed as tomorrow is the big day when we arrive in Glacier—looks like we will be greeted with snow.
Great to have you on the trail with us!
Ellie and Gary XO
