Travel Notes: Day 2

WHAT ARE YOU?!

Day 2: Trinidad, CO to Rock Springs, WY.  Sunny and 95 in Denver, black skies and lightning storms in Wyoming.  iPod wouldn't turn on for hours, which was sad, because it was cool and stormy so we had the windows up anyway (oh, by the way, no AC).  But then Travis (via phone) helped me fix it, and we listened to the rest of Prince Caspian and part of Dawn Treader.

I also spent much of the afternoon puzzling over the miles and miles of fences along I-80 in Wyoming.  They were just fence sections, so they couldn't keep anything out, but someone obviously went to a lot of trouble to put them up and maintain them.  Our best theory at the time, based on the signs we read at a rest stop, was something about keeping some ground exposed during the winter so the lovely wildlife could forage for food.  We were way off.  These are snow drift fences, meant to save money and time clearing snow from the roads.  But I bet the lovely wildlife enjoy the fences as well.

Wild cows?
