Oh, some things I'd forgotten... We did reach 105 degrees coming through Kansas, with a night time low in the mid 80's. Ugh.
The temps in the Rockies would vary about 20 degrees in about as many miles. The temp at 11,400 feet was in the low 60's and down at 5000 feet it was in the upper 80's! AC on, AC off, back on, back off....
The GPS is the best tool to have on a trip, but a road atlas is still needed for changes and planning.
We wash the windshield and headlights at each gas stop and try to scrub off some of the bugs from the front of the vehicle, but it's getting somewhat ugly. I do remember plowing through a cartoonish swarm of bugs in Kansas, but this is almost beyond reason. Maybe I'll get a picture at the next gas stop, that should be a keeper for the photo album.
