ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Well the car has been repaired and the roads are passable. Even the people at thr reception desk at the LaQuinta in Trinidad CO were so happy for us to be able to get on or way this morning. Everyone there was so friendly and if you have to be stranded it is a great place for it to happen.

We are heading to North Platte NE. The Rocky Mountains are breathtaking. We passed Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs and The Airforce Academy. There wasn't even snow an hour north of Trinidad. Crazy spring storm. Sure felt good to be traveling again!!!!

We ate dinner at Whiskey Creek Saloon and Steakhouse. I ordered a flat iron steak that was wonderful. I started with a house salad with some sort of French dressing that is found in Nebraska and that was very good. The steak was accompanied by asparagus, so I felt it was a nutritious and light meal. Mike ate about half of my steak so that was a good thing also.
