Ben and Sue Day 11

Monday, September 17, 2007

Today was the first really difficult day we have had. Ben was quite sick this morning when he first woke up and remained sick through the day. We left Custer, Wyoming and drove to a little town in the western part of South Dakota -- a good part of the way in rainy, overcast weather. Along the way Ben needed to pull to the side of the road and when he did so he hit the roadside cable -- similar to a guard rail only cable instead. He knocked the poles loose that hold the canopy in place and had to tie them underneath. Also knocked off part of the rear bumper of his truck. We also realized this evening that we had about twice as much on our list of places to go than we could possibly do in two months so we revised our list some. Although we were able to have a -- practically never stop -- schedule in our early 20's we are just slightly older now (you can stop laughing now ) and about 6 hours of driving seems to be our limit. Nonetheless we are having an awesome time and are enjoying being together. We are hoping to visit old and still very dear friends in Newton Iowa tomorrow and -- hopefully -- either get our computer fixed or buy another laptop.

Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, for his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 16:1.
