We drove for over 700 miles from Jackson Hole, WY to the south east corner to Cheyenne, WY. The day had been brilliant, sunny, blue skies and for the most part with very low winds. Though the temperature remained in single digits, the sun made it warm enough for a comfortable drive.

Assuming that 26 East might have some remnant snow, we decided to take the alternate route 189/191 South to I-80 E just past Rocky Springs. Although I-189/191 was mostly hilly near Jackson, but about 100 miles south, the land became as flat as possible, with nothing but snow for as far as the eye could see.

I-80 East is not different either. Flat snow covered lands lay on both the sides, with table rocks in between. As we moved into the sunset, the rocks in front took on a mild Aspen glow. Our average speed remained between 85 mph to about 90 mph for the most part and we covered the 700 miles in about 9.5 hours with a few coffee and gas stops in between.
