Day2: Hays, KS to Rawlins, WY

We had a good day, traveling through W KS & E CO. Got to Denver in time to go to the Apple Store to check on the Birthday present Susan wanted to buy me--a new iPod Touch. When we got there, we saw them, I played around with one, and Susan went to find a salesperson. She did--he said they were all out! Maybe in Portland...

Our meeting with the missions staff at SECC went really well. We shared for about an hour in Steve Brien's office. He traveled with Mercy Ships for many years. His assistant, Ron Barnes, was with SE in Louisville for years. They are thinking of pushing the Book-of-the-Month idea for us, which would be fanTASTic.

We got into Denver's rush hour traffic, but finally made it out and headed North to Wyoming. It's quite a gradual climb all the way to Cheyenne, where we got I-80 and headed west. We made it to Rawlins by 9:15 or so, but all the motels at the first exit were full, and some of the others. We finally got the last double at another motel, but it was over $100! And a smoking room to boot. But we didn't want to chance it, so we took it.

Pretty scenery--Wyoming is definitely different! High plains desert has a beauty all its own. Emilee's a good traveler. More later.
