Well, this is Hopitus who lives in the *not-so-grand* MileHigh urban jungle,
and has been in Aurora the whole
darn day....and I bet by now you're almost in Kansas or
wherever you're headed. I live downtown MileHigh and
every few days I watch a trapped semi rock its way out of a tight spot where
it thought it would turn into my narrow street here....funny how the irate
cars, even the SUV's, all back off and respect its maneuvering (snicker,
snicker)! There is no place for a semi to rest around here, but if you give
us a little more notice, would like to
meet (I could manage to get to Wheat Ridge) and go out
to eat some buffalo meat (urgh) - the local favorite - or
something, plus meet Miss Harri!
Next time give us some warning. I have friends who live
in Wheat Ridge or near it but am clueless as to truck stops.

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!

I *SO* love hearing about the adventures of Harri Roadcat! Thanks Dan!

Hugs,
