DAY 21

Hey frank wont ya pack your bags
And meet me tonight down at liberty hall
Just one kiss from you my brother
And well ride until we fall
Well sleep in the fields
Well sleep by the rivers and in the morning
Well make a plan
Well if you can't make it
Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive
If you can
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
Bruce Springsteen


Ok, here is today, I-80 to I-76 to I-25 in for the night in Colorado Springs across the freeway from the Air Force Academy. Lucky to find rooms this is graduation week at the academy.

Beautiful day under partially cloudy skies in shirt sleeves all day, threatened rain the last fifty miles but other than a wet street we got lucky again today. Nebraska makes Iowa look like Rocky Mountain State Park very flat and a little windy today. The scenery was what I’ve come to think of as the usual, green trees, newly planted farm fields and the ever present grain silo on the horizon.

Almost 600 miles of interstate driving gives you a chance to let your mind wander, at 80 miles an hour it doesn’t wander far. I’ve been trying to put together a list of favorites or at least things that made a lasting impression.

I’ll try to refine it for tomorrow’s entry.
