Awake: 6:19am Temp 50 sleep 6+20 mostly sunny elevation
6914 ft. overnight @ Rawlings, WY.
Kathy does (2) loads of laundry including our pillow cases. Early
afternoon, we drive downtown & take a tour of the Rawlins old
penitentiary, right in town. In operation for 80 yrs: 1901 thru 1981. Our
tour lasted over an hr & was quite interesting. Some 13,560 men & a few
women served time @ the old pen during those yrs. There were grim
reminders of life, tragedy, desperation, hope & death scrawlings on many
of the cell walls. I had my camera & covered the tour with pictures.
After that, we drove around town checking and taking pictures of other
famous landmarks such as the fantastic Ferris Mansion , Archie & Mimi’s
place, & the Catholic Church, St. Joseph. Back to our bus @ 4:30pm.
6:40 dinner: Leftover spaghetti chicken with whole wheat noodles, mixed
salad & bread with balsamic vinegar & olive oil.
Tonight’s movie via satellite: “Tom Jones.” This is a rambunctious, witty
& sometimes bawdy tale of a youth’s misadventures in 18th-century England.
It’s a British film so you have to listen carefully. 1963.
We call Nick in Seattle & chat for 15 min. They are doing well.
We also call & leave a message for Zack.
