Holy Bat Trap!

Don't know if I've mentioned this, but the house we are staying in was  owned by Adam West AKA Bruce Wayne AKA BATMAN



So, I turned on the TV last night, and what is on, BAM! POW! KLOK!

But Batman,

And, of course, everyone's idol. CATWOMAN!


Best saying, ever.


The greatest.
Did it ever occur to me 45 years ago as I watched Batman on our B&W TV, that I would someday be watching this same show from the actual Bat Lair?????

Redfish Lake

This is one of those hikes which Freddy respectfully declines to attend. Once he sees the big backpack come out, he does not leave the front porch. So, Fred's dad was on his own.





Funny, this place is so beautiful, but there is something about it that scares the Holy Crap out of me, every time I go....
If you look closely you can see a butterfly on Fred's dad's leg!

Traveling with a pet? Try The Dungeon, by Marriott.

There are pet friendly hotels, like the HI Laramie, and then the Pets Barely Tolerated in the Dungeon hotels, like The Ogden Marriott.



This is actually better than the first room offered, across from icemaker, maids headquarters, and with street vendors outside the window.
So far I've found an earwig in the room service menu and some tick like bug in the tub. Ah! the Wild Wild West!

Stinkin' Lincoln  Even Fred smells it.

On the way to Laramie WY




Pretty rest stop in Nebraska

Windmills and trucks in the rear view

Da road






Whew, another long day. Laramie Wyoming!
To beautiful Ogden Utah tomorrow.

Ioway and Stinkin' LIncoln

My last Maid-Rite was maybe 45 years ago. It's an experience you never forget.
THE FREDDY AWARD
for 
the best Rest Stops on These United States goes to:
IOWAY!!!!!



When was the last time you saw someone barbequing  at a rest stop?   Great memories......





Stinkin' Lincoln. Literally. Staybridge, get  the stench out of your rooms, or I may have to forsake you!!!

Awwwww Shucks...


These guys were singing Happy Trails To You, Until We Meet Again. It was absolutely cool, in an "I love my walker with wheels" kind of way....I can say that , having been part of the Walker Brigade.   People, with voices of angels, and your regular Joe  come here and sing all day long.   Just caught the end part. Guess we get it twice.
