Road Trip 2013 - Day Three

And we're off to Laramie, Wyoming to meet up with our chase car. Now this is the first time we've travelled with a chase car. We're pretty sure that a chase car means following behind, hence the term chase. Our car left two and a half days before us!!! Not to worry, we did meet up with them. Good thing since they are carrying the wine!  We also met up with another car that will be with us for a few days.

Yet another great day of riding weather. There was lightening in the distance when we were checking in, but we only experienced a slight sprinkle. We did hit gusting 35 mph winds, and I do mean gusting.  Our room made the $100 cut! And our lunch was under $10, oh, did I forget to mention that's another of our road trip games? We like to "eat fresh" at Subway while we're on the road. Not every lunch, but really, you can't have a healthier fast food.

We met up for dinner at Linda's. We sat outside in her beautiful garden and chatted. I totally ate too much of the fresh cherries and cheese and just couldn't even eat the dinner. At my age you would think I had more discipline so I wouldn't spoil my dinner. We still had a great time. We took a tour of the neighbor's home, very nice. We learned much of the local flavor.

And Peter is getting a puppy! He was thinking of getting a dog in about five years, when they stopped traveling as much. But he fell in love with Linda's dog while visiting and when Lindà mentioned there was a litter on the way, he jumped in! He put in an order for a female. Next thing, we were planning a puppy shower for the adoption! We thought it might be the wine talking, but in the sober sunlight of the next day he was still going with it.
