Well, tomorrow morning, Homer and I head to the airport at 7:30 to catch a 9:35 flight to O’Hare. 
We are scheduled to arrive in the ‘cuse at 5:50 p.m. We traveled 1,577 miles in the Caddy, 20 miles by Steam Engine and God knows how many miles on foot since arriving at the Hertz rental car pick-up last Wednesday.
Our experience over the last seven 
days was truly remarkable. Together, we took close to three thousand photos, saw two man made wonders, countless natural wonders and the site of one of the old west’s major debacles. We drove through miles of canyon cut by the Bighorn River, visited hot springs and dinosaur remains. We passed un-describable beauty and hardscrabble ranches.
We saw exquisite houses and trailers surrounded by junked cars and equipment. 
There was flat, endless, treeless, arid prairie and snow-capped mountains. There were mountain goats, black tail and mule deer, antelope and prairie dogs along with oil and gas wells, 100+ car trains of coal and mile upon miles of wire fence.
There is a lot of country out here, some of it desolate, much of it breath-taking. 
And some of it just amusing and head scratching. I’m glad to have had the chance to see it with my good friend Homer. It has been an experience I will never forget.
