Day One

When Bill and I walked through the arch of detection at the Syracuse Airport, the TSA agent proclaimed us Perfect because we didn't sound any alarms.  And that is exactly how the day turned out to be for us.  Our flight to Minneapolis left and arrived on time.  The walk from gate C 29 to gate G 1 was a 5K walk, which I swear went past the Mall of America, but when we finally arrived, the flight for Denver was already loading.  We arrived in Denver to 80 degrees and sunny weather.  Perfect.

Our car rental procedure was long but we finally got on the road and headed north.  The drive offered the same view on both sides of the road.  The prairie grasses are short in some areas yet almost cover some Angus Cattle in other sections.  We saw antelope( hundreds), cattle, horses, buffalo and some sheep.  The grasses range in color from blonde, blonder and blondest, broken up by rocks, valleys, and short green bushes.  We even saw a tumbleweed.  The best part of driving are the speed limits.  75 in Colorado and 80 in Wyoming.  You just cannot go fast enough to try and find another type of
vista.

Our travels will take us to Yellowstone Park late tomorrow.  More mountains tomorrow with more varied vistas.

I'm going to try and upload some pictures.  Wish me luck.

Not going to happen today.
