Rifugio San Gaspare: Cheyenne, WY

July 27, 2004

Cheyenne, WY

485 miles today until exhausted. I am supposed to be on vacation, but this time crunch makes the miles grueling. There are some nuts out on the road and they are driving those huge rigs.

Gas was a variety of prices, 1.87, 2.09, 1.95, and 2.25. I made nine stops today. The back will not let me sit much longer than that. Two more days until home. I am looking forward to being with people again.

The trip was a bit monastic, talking with no one and praying the various daytime hours at each stop. Bach's B minor mass was the accompaniment again. I had some chant in but it was too relaxing and was putting me to sleep. The Gloria from the Bach mass is pretty exciting. It was a good thing I have speed control.

You only have about 18 hours of driving time left, and I'll bet the last 9 will fly by as you get closer to home; I hope so for your sake! How many times have you done this drive? I've lost track, possibly Geri, others remember? Hang in there, you are halfway home!

I love Bach's Credo in this grand piece of music. Thanks for reminding me to listen to it - I haven't for a while.
Do I have the right to say, "Drive carefully?" I know you do but it's ingrained. We'll all be glad when you're here.

After posting the previous message, I got a message saying that the posting failed and instructing me to re-enter it. I did and see what happened?

Yes, you have the right to say "drive carefully" as I'm sure I've mentioned it briefly each day this week. Yes, for me it's ingrained also. Prayers are appreciated for his safe return this week! Thank you.
