Calgary sunrise on my last day.
Nothing like Prairie sunrises
Look who else I found!!
I always think of Marv when I pass this spot
You know you're home when you see this view. Hi Mitch!
A gift for me when I woke up at home this morning.
Nothing like a fresh coffee to start Day 4
And, of course, found Emily today!
Mt. St. Helens in the distance
Lots of wine county in Central Washington
This town isn't really Toppen. It's just ........
This is what happens when you wait too long to clean out your fridge
Just finished crossing the Blue Mountains and another range (the Cascades) is already in view
Getting ready to cross the Cascades. Apparently headed for rain...
How many trees are there in Washington? Apparently at least 12
Passing through Seattle
Well, I found Mack today
And, I almost found Floyd...
Either I'm lost or Ontario is on a vacation too. Silly province...
The Utah landscape in the early morning sun is simply stunning.
Gotta love US Interstate speed limits!
I love the road signs in the desert
The only fuel stop for 70 miles in either direction
You have to pump your own water for the windshield
I looked and looked...but couldn't see any

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it.

Corn everywhere...
I bet I crossed the Snake River at least 8 times. It's almost as if that river snakes across the landscape...
A truck towing a blade for a windmill. Couldn't fit the whole thing in the frame.
My home for the night in Baker City, OR
Apparently Baker City was a major supply stop for travellers on the Oregon Trail. Hope I don't get dysentery!
Yes, yes I did...
The day begins
Southern Wyoming
Budweiser in Colorado...I'm surprised it wasn't Coors.
Approaching Denver
There must have been some event going on in the Rockies. I bet no less than 50 of these things passed me in a row.
One of the historic buildings in Central City, CO
Oh Look! A tunnel! Cool...
Another tunnel??
Is that tunnel #3 or #4 by now? I've lost count.
Two tiered Interstate sttructure
Amtrak heading East
Not another tunnel!!
Can't believe this little thing was chugging along at 80mph!
Beginning to look more like Utah as I got toward the West side of Colorado
The landscape near Grand Junction - western Colorado
The town of Fruita where I'm spending the night
An auspicious start. 5 miles out of Saskatoon and the road was backed up for more than 10 miles...big rig had overturned and spilled its load
And shortly after, a beautiful prairie sunrise
Quick stop for fuel and caffeine in Moose Jaw
By Tuxford, just north of Moose Jaw

Massive coal mining operation just north of Gillette, WY. You should have seen the length of the trains waiting to pick up the coal for distribution
Some type of mining operation near Gillette, WY.
Windmill farm near Douglas, WY
The Rockies just started to pop up in my view just before I stopped for the night in Douglas, WY.
A tasty treat while I compose tonight's blog

What it looks like when I'm packed for the road. Heated gear, paper maps, coffee mug that matches Margo...
