Enough of these gentle piney woods, easy going animals and benign - although cool - weather. Time for some dramatics. This post takes us down through more of the Rockies, across Utah and Colorado – keeping an eye out for roaming Sacketts there – back up into Wyoming, through a bit of Nebraska, into and across South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin and into Illinois and Chicago.

Our travels over the years have often sought out those places that we haven't yet experienced. We have loved chasing new places, but there is a change underway. We continue to enjoy experiencing other cultures along with their food, beverages, history and ways of life but now, having a little more freedom, we will also make more effort to seek out out such things as music events and festivals, particular natural attractions that we have missed and places where we can better appreciate the history of a place and its people.

Hi Dave and Pat,
Not sure if you've had time to read our last blog but you are in it. I'm so happy you are touring cross country. I hate it when people come and only see California and NYC. You really have not seen America until you've been to some of our small towns

Sorry we missed you
Hope to see you on your way back to San Francisco. We are presently in the Virginia Beach area and will head on Saturday to Northern Virginia for a week to finalize my daughter's wedding plans. By the way, we are also Louis L'Amour fans and have most of his books (the rest we sent to our neighbor who was the U.S. Consul General in Wuhan, China to donate to a library). Our son is named Tyrell after one of the Sackett brothers. You will want to visit where he planned to build a western village near Durango on your way to Mesa Verde National Park. I would also recommend books written by James Doss...in the southwestern Indian detective genre like Tony Hillerman.
