Busy couple of days! We've been running really hard since Weds

afternoon
(as in only 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night). We have been able to get
kitty walks in, though. Weds night (Thurs morning actually, 4 AM-ish)

we
walked at the rest area just south of St. George, UT. Harri loves

this
place for it's big east-side "wild area" that's screened from the
parking area by a hill. This time, though, she made a beeline for the


vicinity of the buildings - probably since there was so little

traffic
and no people around.

Last night we stopped earlier than planned, as I sort of smoked by
brakes coming down the Green River grade in Utah. I was on the phone
with Nancy while I was parking, and the whole time Harri was

squeaking
up a storm. My interpretation of her squeaks went something like

"Hey,
Pa, we're stopping. Look, there's a wide open space. And it's dark.

Like
in kitty darkwalk? And there's my kittying gear on the dash. Come on,


hang up the phone and let's go for a walk...". So,, I hung up the

phone,
hooker her up, and went for a walk! It was a short one, though, since


tnhe wind was REALLY howling.

Tonight should be interesting. We're about 20 miles west of Denver,

at
the truck stop in Wheat Ridge. There isn't much of a kitty walk area
here, just about a 10 foot wide grass strip behind the truck parking
area. We'll see how interested Harri in that. I'm hoping she likes

it,
since she has been a VERY patient girl this trip!


Hey guy, you drove right past me! I'm in Palisade (about 110 miles
East of Green River). If I'd known you were coming by, I would have
been at Exit 42 and waved as you passed by.

At least the wind in the "Grand Valley" has calmed down (Fruita, Grand
Junction, Clifton, and Palisade are all in the Grand Valley), or you
would have thought it was a nice breeze in Green River, UT (we stop
there on every trip to Nevada, and we go frequently).

Smokie Darling (Annie) - hoping you enjoy your stay in Denver, be
careful, people drive crazy on I-25 South (if you're going that way).
