HA! Several years ago, right outside Durango, the highway came to a halt and we sat in our car and watched about twenty cowboys and cowgirls herding cattle down the side of the road. The highway patrol had both sides of the highway closed as they herded the cattle across and to the other side. One of the cowgirls had to be at least 70 years old, but she was right there doing her part, keeping those cattle in the bar ditch. It was such an interesting sight and of course a couple of the cows wanted to check out the cars. We had one go right in front of us, but there was a cowboy right behind him pushing him off the highway. I took tons of pictures because like you said, it's research.

That's...can't believe you counted them all! That's a part of the country I haven't visited yet, but I'm planning on doing more roadtripping in the futureAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006525007663830711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-13865667971118986572015-10-13T11:13:15.654-05:002015-10-13T11:13:15.654-05:00Wow, all that driving!

Sounds like the vacations my husband and I take! <br />We haven't been to North or South Dakota yet, but it's on our list. <br />Utah really is beautiful - we had done most of the national parks a few years ago, but hadn't been to Salt Lake or Park City yet, so I'm glad we were able to go this time. <br />We drove through PA a few years ago - I loved it! Drove through Amish country, spent the night in Pittsburgh and toured several things the next day. That was our New England vacation, and where I fell in love with the Northeast.<br />So glad you stopped by to read about our trip! <br />SloaneSloane B.

I have been there twice..once when I was about 10 and we went to visit friends at the Army base (Dugway Proving Grounds) and then I was at the 4 corners several years ago.<br />Vacations are a bit tough for us right now as we are raising our 4 grand children and we honestly can't afford to go on one. I am hoping to go 'home' to Pennsylvania next summer, but I need to find someone that can accommodate 6 of us! Staying at a hotel would be quite expensive because we would need a suite or 2 rooms!<br />Your vacation sounds like heaven to me! I have a niece that lives in Ft. Collins I would love to visit. Before we had the 4 kids, we used to take awesome trips all over the country. Once, we left here (DFW area) and headed north, then west. We spent the first night in Gallup New Mexico then went on to the 4 corners the next morning. We drove through Colorado (I loved Durango!) and spent the second night in Ft. Collins. The next day we drove through Wyoming and into the Black Hills of South Dakota, where we spent the most time in one place, lol! We drove totally through Nebraska, looking for a hotel for the night, not finding any with a vacancy! We spent that night in Kansas, then drove back through Oklahoma and back to Texas! We did that with our 2 boys, who were 12 & 16 at the time. It was a great trip for me! I would love to do that again WITHOUT kids, LOL!<br />When we lived in PA we would go to Myrtle Beach South Carolina every summer for vacation. And before that my family would go to either Ocean City MD or the Outer Banks in North Carolina.Cathy McElhaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617877660792352261noreply@blogger.com
