Colorado 2011: The Great State of Nebraska
http://hennesseycolorado2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/great-state-of-nebraska.html
Colorado Rockies road trip. Saturday, September 3, 2011. The Great State of Nebraska. We drove slightly southwest over the vast expanse of prairie, through occasionally heavy rain on a freeway full of trucks that splashed up water, making visibility difficult. The harvest had already been completed on many fields, and cornstalks stool tall but empty. When the sun shone, the panoramic view was of more shades of green and gold than I had ever seen before. Breathtaking, almost. Dinner at Don Cesar's. Restor...

Colorado 2011: Wyoming to South Dakota
http://hennesseycolorado2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/wyoming-to-south-dakota.html
Colorado Rockies road trip. Thursday, September 8, 2011. Wyoming to South Dakota. Not much traffic on the road this morning when we left Wheatland, heading into brilliant sunshine. Mile after mile of high prairie and unmitigated boredom. We wondered where the long trains, with boxcars full of coal, were coming from. The answer came at Wright, Wyoming. Black Thunder Mine, an eyesore of open pit mining on the side of the highway http:/ archcoal.com/aboutus/blackthunder.aspx. Dinner at Don Cesar's. Custer S...

Colorado 2011: Badlands National Park --> St. Paul
http://hennesseycolorado2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/badlands-national-park-st-paul.html
Colorado Rockies road trip. Friday, September 9, 2011. Badlands National Park - St. Paul. I was only lukewarm about visiting the badlands, but I had forgotten the beauty of the national park http:/ www.nps.gov/badl/index.htm. Until we arrived at the gate shortly before ten this morning. September is a wonderful time, because the weather is warm but the tourists are fare less numerous, and we enjoyed a lovely ride through the park, exiting the car to take pictures and enjoy the fresh morning air. Rocky Mo...

http://hennesseystpetebeach2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/skyway-bridge-and-anna-maria-island.html
St Pete Beach 2011. Our First Florida Gulf Coast Vacation. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Skyway Bridge and Anna Maria Island. On Tuesday we crossed the beautiful SkyWay Bridge. This was Bob's idea: his dad had been on the bridge not long before the tragic May 9, 1980 collapse of the old Skyway Bridge. Are more beautiful than any I took. On the return trip, we stopped at Skyway Fishing Pier State Park. Spectacular views of the bridge! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Total Knee Replacement - January 2010.

http://hennesseystpetebeach2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/tierra-verde-sunset.html
St Pete Beach 2011. Our First Florida Gulf Coast Vacation. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. We spent the late afternoon and evening with Wayne and Barb, the inlaws of my friend, John S. They're fellow Canadians who are also longtime residents of this area. We visited them at their beautiful home on Tierra Verde, and were treated to a wonderful tour of the island in Wayne's 21-foot SeaDoo. The famous Don Cesar resort looks Mediterranean from the water:. We pulled into Billy's. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Colorado 2011: North Platte to Cheyenne
http://hennesseycolorado2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/north-platte-to-cheyenne.html
Colorado Rockies road trip. Sunday, September 4, 2011. North Platte to Cheyenne. Our breakfast companions Saturday morning were all dressed in what seemed to be unseasonably warm clothes: jeans, sweatshirts, heavy jackets. Bob and I were, of course, in lightweight summer shirts and shorts, ready for another day in the late summer heat. When we stepped outside, we were greeted by a cold, wintry wind and our overdressed travelling companions suddenly seemed very sensible. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

St Pete Beach 2011: Worldwide Random Act of Kindness Day
http://hennesseystpetebeach2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/worldwide-random-act-of-kindness-day.html
St Pete Beach 2011. Our First Florida Gulf Coast Vacation. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Worldwide Random Act of Kindness Day. We decided to try Crabby Bill's once again, but this time the wait was one hour and fifteen minutes, so we did not stay. Instead, we stopped at the The Wharf. For dinner. We wanted to sit outside, so there we were, facing the water sitting on somewhat uncomfortable high stools. I hardly had the timed to utter a "thank-you" and she was gone. Thank you, RAK Lady! Dinner at Don Cesar's.

Colorado 2011: Custer State Park and Iron Mountain Road
http://hennesseycolorado2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/custer-state-park-and-iron-mountain.html
Colorado Rockies road trip. Thursday, September 8, 2011. Custer State Park and Iron Mountain Road. We were tired by five, and stopped at a Holiday Inn Express for the night. We just came back from a swim in the empty pool. The Green Bay Packers are beating the New Orleans Saint 42-27, with 10 minutes to go. Not looking forward to the first GBP-Vikes game this season! We are less tired in the evening now, but will still be in bed shortly after 10. Back to central time tomorrow. Dinner at Don Cesar's.
