White noise

Our spirits were high as we headed out towards northern Colorado on day one of our trip to the Dakotas. We arrived in Fort Collins as planned around sunset. Our plan was to stay overnight at Walmart. We should have called ahead. We found out that we had to leave the parking lot when the store closed at 11. Damn.
Our keen problem solving skills kicked in as we checked for campgrounds in the area and even motels. We came up short on those possibilities. Next idea was to find an out of the way parking lot and sleep for a couple of hours. As we headed north we had a thought about Loves Travel Centers. Sure enough there was one in Cheyenne about 30 minutes away.
We arrived there a little after 10 pm and found a spot just the right size for us. The white noise from the semi trailers was loud but we were able to get some rest. Even Simon seemed to understand the need to get some rest as he hunkered down with us in the camper.
This morning we had a neighbor with a very appropriate load. We were on the road by 6:30 headed to spearfish, South Dakota. Hope day two uses less of our problem solving skills.
