June 17
Lander, WY
Wednesday morning I started out for WY. I lined up two job interviews at spas, one in Cheyenne and one in Casper. As I left ID I spotted an eagle soaring across the interstate - perhaps a good omen. It was a windy, rainy drive. Thursday it cleared, but winds were gusting 50+ mph. The stretch between Casper and Cheyenne was especially treacherous. Two tractor trailers were tipped over along I-25, like horses laying on their bellies in a pasture. I imagined them lying helpless with their soft undersides exposed to big truck predators- if there were such a thing. My Nissan had no trouble navigating the mighty winds, she just hunkered down and gripped the asphalt with her steel belted radials. We have logged almost 5000 miles on this journey thus far. She has been a loyal companion and her service has not gone unappreciated. Tomorrow I shall reward her with another oil change. The interviews went alright, but I wasn't overly impressed with either place. We'll see... From Casper I drove to Lander where I'm spending the night. I must have seen hundreds of antelope ( well maybe not hundreds, but at least 95 ) grazing along the roadsides with the cattle. I have another farm to work at next week stonehouseranch.com so tomorrow I'll be crossing back over the continental divide for Nevada.
