Drive from Texas to Washington

The snow storm Killed themBefore I even entered Colorado from Kansas…I got news of a winter storm that would hit.  I wanted so bad to get through the storm.  But it nailed me in Wyoming, just as it killed these roses.  I stayed in Cheyenne for two nights.  I had to take photos or felt that it would be such a losss of time.  Snow blowing past the train

The town had a lot of action going on, but only on the train side of it.  The entire town town was shut down.  Except for a few things that I noticed.  One of then being a bar that had the word ‘Skunk” in it’s title and a place to eat called Capital Diner at a hotel.KANSAS

In Kansas, this was the same day of the storm.  But a few hours before in the drive twards Wyoming.  I kept driving for miles and miles, wondering.  “Where are the people.  I pulled over suddenly after seeing this irrigation set up, that I had seen in several fields.  Not even a minute after I pulled over a cop was behind me.   I thought, well I didn’t do anything, sooooo…   He asked “Does your car use oil?”

“Oil?” I repeated 

“Yes…I saw some white smoke but Equipmentmaybe it was the dirt.”

Wow I thought, he is just being helpful…

I forgot I was not in Texas anymore.  I explained I needed to take photos but kept seeing fields like this.  He said that if I took the next exit there was a corn field that had not been cut at a farm.  (VERY interesting I thought.  That this is what he had to say.)  So I did take the exit.  And I found some old equipment and took some photos.Dry weed and Dry Equipment
