Yesterday morning the first thing we did was turn on the news for the weather report.  Although the path of the storms would cross where we were headed, the storms were breaking up so we decided to go for it; thinking we would stop if it got too bad.  We left Milwaukee at 9:16 a.m. The temperature was 46 degrees and the wind was nasty.  We hit Chicago and it was raining pretty hard and the traffic was awful.

>Friday morning, May 20, we had planned to visit a place called Flaming Gorge Natl Recreation Area, which on the map looked to be very near the town of Green River, where we stayed Thursday night. We had no idea what we were heading in to and what we thought would be an hour-long side trip, turned in to 6 hours and a 132-mile loop!
