June 3: NE to CO
Hondacar’s odometer was at 117,813 when we left Nebraska. To be honest, I can’t say much about our drive from Lincoln, NE to Littleton, CO because this is what I was doing the whole day in the car:
(Joan needs to learn to take better pictures while driving.)
We did stop at a gas station and a woman from WI pet me while I was in the car with my head out the window, and later, after more sleeping, we stopped in Colorado that they welcome us into as “colorful Colorado.” Here’s a picture Joan took of me at the rest stop on I-76, which by the way is the most boring highway ever. It was just flat, brown hay with very little traffic.
I did ask Joan to keep track of license plates since I was sleeping so much and here’s our new plates: Colorado, Ohio, Kansas, Tennessee, New Jersey, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Michigan, and California!
When we got to Denver, I got up because I could sense there was a lot going on around. I stood up and watched the city while we drove to Littleton, where Joan’s friend from high school lives. When we got there, Joan ushered me to the backyard and then she disappeared into the bathroom. Meanwhile, a really big dog was barking really loudly and I started shaking in the backyard. Then Joan reappeared and I was introduced to Berkeley, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who is 10 years old. Then I got dinner and we went on a walk later on. Joan had a headache so we went to bed kinda early. She says the elevation is bad for her, and she feels like a dagger is stabbing her through her eye. I'm okay with it, though.
