FROM WIDDLETOWN TO WADDLETOWN


it's 15 miles. From Waddletown to Widdletown it's 15 miles".....U. J
But in this case, "From Evanton to Laramie Wyo it was 305 miles"...a long day

The terrain in Wyo was somewhat the same but always a little different on down the road. There were straight roads with not much to see other than the flats, then all of a sudden we'd come into mountain canyons.
By the time we reached Laramie it was raining with some sleet. (Saturday April 17)








We crossed the Continental Divide here in Wyo. We also saw the C. D. from the kitchen window at Alan and Laura Kested's in Colorado.
.

Now, you've heard of Blood Hounds that can sniff out people and drugs. Well did you know that some people have that same ability but not for the same things the blood hounds do. We were about 200 miles into our trip through Wyo, when Larry said he thought we needed a break, so he pulled over to a little town (just a break, right?) The first thing he saw on a back street was this Union Pacific RR Engine. How nice . Then going down another back street (sniff sniff) what do we see? Of course.....a Hudson. Now there were other towns we could have taken a break in but of course there wasn't any signals in them. Anyway, Larry thought it was neat and couldn't believe he came across this '49 Hudson.

Hudson sniffin must be akin to women's intuition. Can't explain it, it just happens. The guy who ran the place was out and wouldn't be back for an hour. I'll post the find on the forum, and one of our Wyoming Hudson members can check it out...and hopefully rescue it. It can be restored, as it "Casts a pretty good shadow".
