Heading for home

May 22, 2007 Little America, Wyoming

Today turned out to be less than leisurely. The weather report
stated that I-90 through Montana was expected to have up to a
foot of snow on it. We really didn't want to deal with even six
inches of snow so we decided to head for I-84 and then I-80
through Wyoming. MS Garmen, our GPS navigator told us
we should proceed SW to Pendleton, Oregon and pick up
I-84 there. I guess we should have done that, but the thought
of back-tracking that far was not a pleasant one. Instead we
zigged and zagged through Washington and Idaho and
eventually picked up I-84 near Ontario.

We continued on then through Utah and eventually Wyoming for
about 850 miles and quit at Little America. Which turned out to
be a mistake. We should have stopped at Evanston or continued
on to Green River. Little America is VERY expensive and offers
you nothing accept a bed and bath. No frig, microwave nor, worst
of all no coffee maker!!! This trip, for the first time I haven't
carried a coffee maker because even the cheapest of motels seem
to supply you coffee one way or another. Little America has a
restaurant that they are determined you'll support. We had
everything we needed for breakfast except coffee and I figure it
doesn't hurt to skip coffee once in a while, so we'll eat our
breakfast and be on our way.
