Wednesday:
It’s been an interesting trip. Snow, Ice, and rain all the way here after leaving California. How pleasant to arrive in Cheyenne, known for its cold weather, to see a sunny sky and 70 degree weather. Wonderful! Unfortunately, it won’t last.
We’re staying at the AB Camping RV park at 1503 West College Drive, Cheyenne. It’s […]
Even on the road, mundane things must be done, like the Laundry. Today was laundry day. While Lou and Dawn went out shopping, I worked on the Blog and got some pictures labeled and published. We hit the road about 2pm. We stopped at “Custer’s Last Stand”, at Little Big Horn Battlefield. Nothing exciting there […]
We arrived in Sheridan Wyoming. We took a trip out to Big Horn to look around. Looked over the cometary there. Some family members are there like my Grandfather (1847-1903). We went to the fair in Sheridan. The big feature is the Pig Wrestling Contest. They have small, free fairs here in Wyoming. No carnivals, […]
We got up early to beat the heat and hiked the Red Bluffs Trail around the outskirts of Devils Tower.
We then headed toward Sheridan. We stopped in Gillette. We found a nice restaurant, Humphrey’s (Known everywhere else in the region as Sanford’s, but has the different name in Gillette). We […]
We dashed up to take a morning walk around the tower with the ranger. Our primary concern was to get the refrigerator working. It tripped the GFI when we tried to use it on electricity and the gas flame wouldn’t light. A little hairdryer use eventually cleared up both problems. The rain yesterday had been […]
On the road today. We Stopped at Fort Laramie. Also checked out the graveyard there. We stopped at a couple of towns to look around and arrived at the Agate Fossil Beds NM at 6pm after the visitor center closed. We hiked up to the quarries nearby and to the Bone Cabin to check them […]
The Oregon Trail Ruts and Register Cliff are traces of the Oregon trail. One does need to wonder why they took the path they took over the rocks though? Register Cliff is badly damaged by more recent vandals?

Guernsey and Oregon Trail Ruts
Went to the Frontier Days Pancake Breakfast by the Old Train Depot.
We then all went by where we were parked to show the family how we live. Then we got back on the road. We went to Guernsey, Wy to the Trail Ruts Golf Course. No, we don’t play golf but they do have a […]
We went to the Old West Museum in the morning.
We went to Don’s nephew Larry’s house for a family get together.
We heard the steam whistle and of course we had to try to see the train. We drove down to the switch yard to see the Frontier Days steam train. Many of […]
Up early to get downtown to watch the Frontier Day Parade. A long parade! We then had lunch at the Cheyenne Smokehouse BarBQ. Great! It’s in a Bed and Breakfast on 18th st. All this topped off with a visit to Frontier Park. We visited the Indian Village and listened to an Indian story teller […]
