Wandering Traverler.

Before Last week this is all the states I have ever been to:




Now I can add FIVE more states to the list:





Admittedly Iowa is a bit of a cheat, since I visited the one extreme south-west county only and that was seriously for all of 10 minutes (that is how long it took from leaving Missouri to entering Nebraska).

Nebraska and Kansas are not as flat as everybody makes them out to be, while there obviously wasn't any mountains, there was a few hills and dales. There was the big shopping center built over the I-80 in central Nebraska though.

The freakiest thing happened in Wyoming, we where just driving back, maybe 20 minutes past Green River, when all of a sudden it started snowing and BAM! Instant Whiteout. Yes at this time of year, with summer almost upon us. I don't get it either.

It was scary. I had never been in a white-out before. Luckily I was only shot-gun at that stage and not driving, and Curtis knew what to do (hazzard lights, 30 mph etc).

When I got back to Salt Lake, I told the story to several different people and 3 people told me about late season snow problems they had in Wyoming as well, including my boss who was stuck in Laramie for 4 days due to heavy snowing!

    That's funny. I just happen to be from Green River.
