Funny story...when we stopped for gas in Canada, about 20 minutes before entering Montana, the little old lady running the Mom & Pop station/store (probably the owner) asked Bob how much further he had to go before stopping for the night. He, being really tired, told her "Grand Rapids!" LOL She was such a sweet lady, and just said, "Ooh, you all have a long way to go!" Of course, every time I saw flowing water, I could swear that we were getting close!
Okay, now that I've told that one on Bob, I better confess, too. I hear it's good for the soul (and Bob threatened me). lol Today when we were passing through Bighorn County, Wyoming, Bob made the comment that it's funny to see the county named that because he didn't realize they had Bighorns there. I quickly chimed in saying, "Probably some cowboys brought them up here." He had the weirdest look on his face. After he asked me, "What do cowboys have to do with Bighorns?", I said, "Well, that's what they have in Texas." I got a quick, laugh-till-you-have-tears, lesson in the difference between Bighorns and Longhorns. LOL
THIS is a Bighorn:
THIS is a Longhorn:
Who knew? lolTonight we're staying in Casper, Wyoming. Tomorrow we hope to get through Wyoming and Colorado, and stay the night somewhere around Las Vegas, New Mexico. We'll check in with you all later! Love and miss you all!

Welcome the the USA! I had to go look at a map to see just how much you have driven! That Bob hasn't kicked your @ss out of the car yet is a miracle!
Glad u made it back to the US! Sounds like you guys have had an eventful trip. When u come down to see me, I'll show u the LONGHORNS! :-)
Don't feel bad. I didn't know the difference either. Please thank Bob for the education.
