"aspens"         

the air is autumn crisp
fallen leaves crunching under foot, got my nice hiking boots on
barely a breeze
midday, bright 
sunlight diffused by a thin haze
not far off, the whistle of an elk
the eagle's shadow crossing my path
big sky, soft day

Yellowstone & Bust! day one......


Day one.  Road trip.  Kansas City to Yellowstone Park.   


Who knew our first day on the road would be a bust...literally?
The temperatures were in the low 90's, BAM! blowout around 5:00pm.
Exit ramp, rip roarin wind, construction zone.....orange triangles....
changed the tire...
We made it to Henderson, Nebraska  (where?), overnight at the Prairie Oasis.  
next morning (Sunday, to boot) truck service center.  
We decided on all new tires (internal damage they say) because this blow out stuff is depressing....
Will we ever make it out of Nebraska?
