September 13, 2022 Travel to Cheyenne Wyoming and Good Friend

(Note:  Many of the travel pictures that I take are done at 70 mph out the front windshield or the side window.  Some/many may not have clarity, however, I post them for me and you to record what that part of the country looks like and for my memory. Just an FYI.)

We left our little place in North Platte and headed west.  We decided to take US-30, Lincoln Highway, to the Wyoming Border.  US-30 parallels and sometimes joins I-80.  The road is pretty good and it was nice to be off the interstate.

An old tourist attraction on US-30:

We landed at the Cheyenne Moose Lodge and spent the evening with our friend Jan, who now lives there.  We met Jan and Ken in Alaska and spent time with them every year in Arizona City and Quartzsite, AZ.  Sadly, we have lost Ken and we miss him It was so so good to see Jan and get caught up.  I did not take pictures (sorry Jan) and will definitely stay longer next time thru.

Andy and I are so blessed with the good folks that we met on our travels.

Tomorrow we head further west so stay tuned and enjoy today.
