West - Day Sixteen - July 8, 2005

We got up early in Cheyenne this morning to pack up and drive to Denver International Airport. We arrived in plenty of time and early enough so they could get seats near each other. Once they went through security, I left and drove to find the Saab dealership in Denver to check on a problem we had with the gearbox as we ended our long drive the night before. We only had it happen once and decided it was probably the heat from the converter we had plugged into the cigarette lighter to use the laptop computer. In any event, I got the names of dealers along the way back to SF in case I continue to have a problem. From there, I drove to Colorado Springs for the night. Arrived early enough to be able to do laundry and generally regroup. It was definitely sad and lonely without a car full of people with me. My head cold was still lingering too which I'm sure was due to the altitude and dry air.
