It's always interesting traveling throuout the United States. Each State has something different of interest....but for us, going West is unlike anything else. It's not just the terrain....it's the terminology. Today we see things as we travel through Wyoming from Buffalo to Cody before going on to Yellowstone that we just don't have in the Midwest. For instance, I have to wonder just how fast a semi-truck is moving downhill if it has to use an emergency exit and run uphill onto a gravel emergency gravel exit ramp? Scarey thought.
And then there are words that don't describe anything I see in Wisconsin. So we wonder about buttes, arroyos, washes and gullies. We see signs for free range cattle and sheep.....unlike roadside warnings about deer crossings in our area. And a gulch? We came down out of the mountains into the basin? Canyons......not so much around Milwaukee.
It's fun.....it's beautiful.......we are so very fortunate to be exploring this United States of America.
From sea to shining sea.......
