You may need an Atlas for this one.
I spent the last three days celebrating my 50th high school class reunion with the Thermopolis (WY) class of 1960.
I spent a couple of days earlier in Casper checking our house we still own and getting my annual physical since we don't have doctors in Littleton yet.
Friday afternoon I left from Casper for Thermopolis. The road from Casper to Shoshoni is the most boring drive that isn't in western Utah, eastern Nevada, or eastern Oregon. At a rest area I visited with a guy from St. Paul (I was wearning a Twins T-shirt). I told him about Thermoplis and the mineral hot springs. I realized as I left Casper this is the first time I had driven on a two lane highway since February. The traffic bunched up and of course people try and pass all the RV's. I discovered the reason the traffic was so bunched up as they were putting fresh asphalt on one side of the highway which meant a pilot car took us through the construction area. I only had to wait about five minutes before my lane got to go west.
Friday night our class celebrated with a pizza party at the VFW. Anyone who tried to smoke was threatened with his/her life. It was low key and we were able to table hop and visit several classmates and their spouses. That afternoon I bought a local paper with directions for all the doings for each class. I started looking for the home which would host our dinner Saturday night. I couldn't find the address as they had inverted two number so I got out, went to the back of the house where I had seen some people in back. It turned out to be the place I was looking for and several of my best friends were there warming up for Friday night so I forced myself to drink a few beers (to be sociable, of course), tell a few stories, listen to a few lies and try to remember incidents that happened over 50 years ago (such as an afternoon spent in jail-I was innocent, of course.) I'm back in Casper as I type this and I'm five minutes from the start of the Ghost/Billing game and baseball takes precidence over blogging. More tomorrow.
