This morning we left Loveland, Colorado, destination Oregon!
It is fun to be back on the road again, but oh so soon after just arriving back home! Oh well – life is calling!
We have been planning a westward trip for several summers and finally, this summer, we are heading west. It has been several years since we were on the Oregon Coast and we are looking forward to our visit.
After we leave the Coast we are heading to Glacier!
We have never been there, so this trip will be extra special!
Today we travelled scenic Colorado Highway 287 from Fort Collins, CO to I-80.
It was a gorgeous day. Breathtaking backdrops for our leisurely drive today, were the spectacular Rocky Mountains. Deep, blue skies with white puffy clouds provided striking contrasts.
With all the spring rain, the country side is filled with lush greenery as far as the eye can see.
Here and there, white and rusty colored bodies could be seen grazing on the bountiful grasses. Grouping of Antelope, some with new borns, provided a little entertainment.
Our only complaint was the wind.
Once we hit Wyoming and turned west, on I-80, we encountered strong wind with gust up to 40 miles per hour. Not fun!
After spending a lot of time getting things ready to leave, I am now back to blogging! I intend to stop by some of my favorite blogs, visit new ones, contribute with photos on those I enjoy and plan to post a few about our travels west.
Hopefully, I will be making music with my friends and will have beautiful things to write about and take photos of.
On the road again
written and recorded by Willie Nelson
On the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We’re the best of friends insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We’re the best of friends insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

Hi Gay. I missed you as well. I always enjoy your posts and comments. We have some friends that were visiting the east side just a few weeks ago. We will be on the west side, but if time permits we will take a ride to the east side. Wow, I give Pearl a “10” in the Wedge Event!!!

Exciting to get on the road again and go somewhere new
It is! As I type this we are passing a sign stating “welcome to Idaho”. Beautiful country we are driving thru this morning. Thanks for writing, it is always nice to hear from you and to see where your travels take you!
Happy Trails! Have a safe trip.
Anne Marie, good morning to you. We won’t be going as far north, this trip, but will plan a trip into Washington to come see you. Hoping you are enjoying your summer!! Love and hugs.
I am looking forward to your experience in Glacier. Twice we had intended to get there and family issues changed our plans.
You are travelling through some beautiful country. We visited Glacier in 2008. Only difference is we only travel ‘blue highways’ and avoid interstates. Have a great trip and safe travels.
