TRAVEL - SCARY HAIRCUT - DARK SKIES AND HAIL

Today was a day of driving, filling up the fuel, propane, water and dumping the holding tanks. Now you're going to love this one, we got our hair cut for $10 each at the Flying J by a lady barber who used to be a military barber.  She was fast, efficient and professional.   You never know who, where or what kind of cut you'll get on the road, but getting a haircut at a truck stop was a new experience for me ... scary.  The cut is a little shorter than usual but it looks nice.  So if you're on the road and need fuel and a haircut, stop at the Cheyenne, Wyoming Flying J off I-25 Exit 7.  Remember to use your  RV Plus Charge Card to get discounts.  We saved five dollars on the RV dumping, ten cents off propane per gallon and three cents off gas per gallon.  Go to http://www.rvpluscard.com/ for more information or to sign up.

We drove about 120 miles from Colorado, through that tiny corner of Wyoming to Nebraska. 

Pulled into the Walmart in Sydney, Nebraska and couldn't believe how many truck drivers stop here.  We are literally surrounded by the sound of diesel engines.  Should be an interesting nights sleep.

Just before leaving for church, the skies got very dark and we heard thunder in the distance, than saw strikes of lightening, than pouring rain followed by pounding hail about the size of mothballs.  We haven't seen a storm like that in a long time.

We went to mass at St. Patrick's Church in Sydney, Nebraska.  The church was beautiful and the farming people were very friendly.  The priest actually memorized the gospel reading ... that's the first time I've seen that.  About once a month the bell ringers come to this church and play. We were lucky to be there to hear their beautiful music.

Thanks for stopping in.
