Wide Open Spaces

As we continued west on I-80, we encountered snowy rain which lasted about ten minutes. So far today, it has rained off and on and is getting colder. The only weather report we could get on the raio was that the high was to be 30 tomorrow with snowy rain and warm and sunny on Sunday but we don't know where that was for! We also started seeing herds of ponghorn antelope grazing alongside cattle in vast fields with not a building in site. We arrived in Rock Springs about noon and, because of bad weather, decided to stay put for the rest of the day by visiting the library, getting gas and propane. We will leave for the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone tomorrow morning. They are about 185 miles north of here.
