Rocky Mountain High

I am finally back home and within internet range! We left on Friday after my last day of school and embarked on our western adventure. Friday night we stayed in Kanapolis State Park in Salina, Kansas. The pic on the left is from that park. It is a real bat cave! How do I know? Because after I snapped the picture a bat flew out at me. We met up close and personal :) On Saturday, we woke up and travelled west to Colorado and the Golden Gate Canyon State Park. It was magnificent! I had the bright idea that I wanted to be one with nature so we found a primitive campground area where you had to hike 2 miles into the camp site. It was so gorgeous and secluded. I fully expected to see tons of wildlife and birds. Right after our dinner was ready, the gods opened up the sky and a deluge that continued all night began. Not only did it rain continuously, but the temps dipped close to freezing. The weather called for snow, but it didn't happen. Everything got wet and Rick was a little grouchy, so we packed it all up on Sunday morning and drove to his favorite campground...The Hampton Inn in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was cushy and plush and I guess we needed that. We did a lot of geocaching on the way also. Then we drove straight up through to Chadron, Nebraska. The pic on the left is the Jail house and Court House rock formation along the Oregon Trail. That was so awesome!

I did my interview for Chadron State College on Tuesday and I think it went well. We packed up and drove straight home because I missed my kitties.

i will try to post more pics later on.

love you all,

mommy
