Today was a rest day for Gordon and Susan. They must be having a great time with Jo Ellen and Rembrandt - we haven't heard a peep for over 24 hours.
My brother asked why Susan and Gordon took I-70 rather than I-80. I'm not sure of all the reasons but I know that Susan reeeeally wanted to drive US 50 and that she had the rendezvous worked out with Jo Ellen in Fort Collins. Choosing I-80 after US 50 (via I-15) would have meant backtracking south on I-70 to reach Ft. Collins and maybe longer time over all.
Wanna test my hypothesis yourself? Curious about the route? Check it out on Google Maps. Use the new route altering feature to see which route takes longer, at least as far as Google is concerned.
Keep them in your prayers. Steve in Lincoln, their next stop, reports that the heat index (temperature plus a factor for humidity) will be 110 degrees over the weekend.
