    Well, Lauralea and I got home yesterday from the Roundup. What a fantastic Roundup!

    We took a side trip through Nebraska's Sandhills to the west and really enjoyed the scenery. Also cooled off a little at the 4000 foot elevation.

    This was my closest Roundup at only 850 miles even via the Gathering, but by the time we got home, I had driven 3100 miles! Great trip, but it is also nice to be home.

    Wow! That's a lot of miles! I hope I'm in a position again next year to make at least one of the events...wherever it is. Sure have missed not going the last 3 years.
