As some of you know, my Sweet Ever Lovin' hits a milestone birthday this year. And later this week, she will also have visited all 50 states. South Dakota is her last, and if things go as planned, we will roll in there next week Sunday. 50 for 60, you might say.
This will also be an unusual trip because we are taking our dog Lulu along with us.
This will be our first trip with The Dog.
We've struggled with what to call this trip (as you can probably see by my titles) and what theme song we would need. I like 50 for 60, Doreen likes COVID on the ROAD, South Dakota or bust. For the song, we I was torn between America by Simon and Garfunkel:
But perhaps a more appropriate song would be "Me and you and a dog named Lou"
which is what we're going with.
I am mostly packed, but it is hard to pack for a trip with some disparate weather. Here are the highs and lows starting tomorrow for as long as I can get a forecast:
You'll notice that I am missing Amarillo and Waco. I can't imagine they will be cooler than Dolores, Colorado, so I think we'll be ok.
New Mexico is the only state that has a quarantine in effect. But we are only driving through, not stopping, so I hope we're OK. We may have to take the scenic route avoiding Albuquerque. Probably not a bad idea, anyway.
See you tomorrow in Bartlesville.
