You really did get the feeling you only needed a ladder to reach up and touch the stars. <BR/><BR/>One of my favorite things to think about the prairie is that sense of tinyness. But of course, I'm not out there all alone in a car in the middle of nowhere without a phone. <BR/><BR/>Of course, you did have a CB. And there might have been a big trucker or two passing should you have broken down.<BR/><BR/>heheCatnappinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112190511038404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-50174678784079871322009-02-04T19:53:00.000-06:002009-02-04T19:53:00.000-06:00Flat white meets flat gray.

As Lovell said about the moon....magnificent desolation.<BR/><BR/>Almost like being at sea. And at dusk, like that first time I wrote about here....dude feels awfully small out there on the plains during winter.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253196269498737011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-31199221304645584602009-02-04T19:40:00.000-06:002009-02-04T19:40:00.000-06:00Hehe.

Before the interstate...I think I-80 was still US30, can't say for certain, anymore. <BR/><BR/>I drove from Sacramento to Biggs Oregon, once...I started at noon. I'd been up since 5AM. I shoulda stopped at Burns. I still don't know how I made that last leg. I don't remember anything after Burns. And I was straight. Not a bit o' nuttin in me, but coffee and chocolate. <BR/><BR/>I was on US97...in the dark, twists and turns all the way. <BR/><BR/>I do love the way you turn a phrase. I remember those white plains...flat white meeting flat grey. (of course, it was much prettier on a clear day...not like the mountains, but spectacular in its own way.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
