The eye doctor was amazing.  I was standing outside his office 5 minutes before they opened, at 7:55am, and 10 minutes later he was dilating my eyeballs.

The verdict is what I expected—no torn retina just old age.

When I asked about continuing the trip he basically said that if this is a life's dream I can but to take it easy, and to make a follow up eye appointment with my doctor at home in 4 weeks.  

Well I won’t even be home in 4 weeks and I am not sure how to take it easy on this route with steep climbs and long distances between towns.  Plus my eye seems more tired than normal and I need to make mental adjustments to these new floaters 😣.  I think I need to follow doctors, and common sense, and head home and rest up.

The fact that Yellowstone is closed makes the decision easier.  That was a main reason for doing this trip.  So this just seems like the logical thing to do.

Part of me is intensely disappointed but the wise old lady part of me, who has endured worse disappointments in this life, is shrugging my shoulders and moving on.

My brother is heading up in the car with Wags to pick me up and we may do some site seeing on the way home.  I can’t wait to see my dog! (And my brother 😬)

Sorry I didn’t get very far again.  When I get home I will check my cameral for new pictures to post.
