A bump in the road
So we left Santa Fe yesterday. We liked the hummingbirds and the bunnies and the humans loved the food but it rained and thundered a lot the week we were there so we were glad to be going. There were more new states for us to drive through and more cool stuff to see.
When we traveled north out of Santa Fe the land changed to more flat for a while and then we crossed into Colorado and it got a lot hillier. We sorta drove through clouds for a bit and then came upon Colorado Springs (said Dad) and they were having an air show just as we got there. What luck! The Thunderbirds were practicing for their official show which was to be today at the graduation ceremonies for the Air Force Academy. The Vice President (whatever that is) was even going to be there today. Wow, I guess. Anyway, we got to see the planes as we drove along I-25. It was a little hairy since people pulled over right on the highway to see the show. They took out their cameras and everything. Not safe if you ask me but I’m only a cat.
We continued north and drove right through the middle of Denver, Colorado. Big city! Lots of cars! We got to see the football stadium of the Denver Broncos cause we passed right by it. Mom got some shots through the windshield. I didn’t get what all the fuss was about - we like the Miami Dolphins!
North of Denver we stopped for the night at a Walmart near Fort Collins. It was brand new and had spots just for our big rig. Very nice. The humans went in and got some supplies (I know cat food comes from somewhere else so I didn’t care) and we didn’t get our dinners until they returned.
We were up bright and early this morning (Fred led the way before 5 AM) and hit the road for points north. We were driving through Wyoming when Dad wanted to stop by the road to take a couple pictures and noticed oil leaking. Ugh! We are broken down. Bummer! We waited in the rest area for what seemed like cat years until John the wrecker guy came and he hauled us back to Cheyenne and the truck fixing place. We are still there waiting for someone to look at us. At least we have our Mom and Dad with us so we aren’t scared.
