Things We Saw on Our 4-Day Drive from Dallas to Salt Lake City

• 1250 miles spin by
  
• 5 states
  
• 3 hotel rooms, 2 of which had the same number (Freaky!)
  
• innumerable cows
  
• many horses
• 1 prairie dog
• a lot of deer
• a herd of buffalo
• some truly amazing sky
  
• my friend Sharon, who fed us a delicious non-restaurant lunch with ACTUAL VEGETABLES as we made our way through Colorado (Hooray!)
  
• wind turbines (One of them was really close to the freeway and I realized that although I've seen them pretty frequently, this was the closest I'd ever been to one and these things are HUGE.
• snow fences (I did not know such things even existed.)
• the Continental Divide (We are now flowing toward the Pacific, I suppose.)
• many wee tiny towns, and a few bigger cities
• so, so many Cracker Barrels (I never realize how many of these there are until I drive cross-country; our dinner there one night was Rob's first time to ever be in one.)
• prairie, mountains, and high plains (So, so beautiful. This was a really beautiful, amazing road trip.)
