Cheyenne Wyoming

We made our way from Bear Lake Idaho to Cheyenne Wyoming with only one stop on the way , it is free,no hook ups,open all night and has toilets.....Yep we used Walmart the 4 or 5^th time in 17 years...and we were not alone at all ,some even opened the slides ,we did not disconnect the truck or open slides, our 5w floor plan allows us to get almost every where when slides are closed, so we were “ruffing” it.....hahaha.

The views from the roads sometimes were showing its beauty but mostly HWY 80 is one long boring Hwy..

We found a C.G just behind a RV dealer and store, nothing fancy just full hookups ,sites on leveled gravel and WiFi connectivity near the office ,the important thing was the short distance to Down Town Cheyenne .

On the following day we started our visit at the main squire and the Tourist Information office.

The volunteer person was very kind and helpful , he equipped us with walking tour maps,list of restaurants and other general information like where to park and so on, but he forgot to tell us that the Capitol Building is under constriction and therefor closed to the public, so one can imagine our surprise when we got there..

But the rest of the tour was great , we loved the BIG BOOTS,the Old Governor Mansion House and the old buildings along the walking tour, we did not take the trolley.

While walking we saw this sign suggesting that in this spot actually was a Synagogue but now unfortunately another building is standing instead of this significant Jewish heritage temple.

The Botanical gardens were some kind of a disappointment, huge beautiful building with not enough colors and special plants, we found this special corner and Australian colorful birds.

The Wyoming Cowboy Museum was next on our list but the 10$ entree fee per person did not justify to walk in to see the old west history as I read on the internet, so we took some shots from the beautiful iron statues showing a lot of movement and grace.

I also meet with my friend from the good old western times ,unfortunately he is not with us any more, I loved his movies...

2006 5TH RV trip-Montana-WY-S.D-Minnesota

This year we started with our brand new Trailer, that was already loaded with our personal things since last year and was waiting for us in the dealers yard together with the truck.
Things went well till we reached the Alberta - Montana Boarder,there the US customs pulled out from the trailer food they said that was not allowed to enter the US,but we overcame this although we thought is was not handled properly.
The main attraction this trip was BRANDING in Sheridan Wyoming, it all started a year before when we meet with Eddie and Dee during a beer fest in New Mexico, they invited us to participate in Branding their cattle the following year, well it took us 2 seconds to except their offer and showed up in time for the event.
It was like in the good old days the traditional way (as we saw in the movies), build the coral,gather the herd,brand,vaccine,castrate the caves and then have food&grab laughs and more beer-it was fun- ,my back remembered it for a while..

South Dakota was special to visit ,Mount Rushmore and Bad Lands gave the place fine flavour.
In one c.g we had a Snake coming up our sewer pipe chased away by a BIRD..it was an interesting scene all together.
In Minnesota we meet face to face with "Internet" friends Hal and Jan that live on a beautiful river in South Minnesota and had a fantastic week together.
The way to Thunder Bay from Duluth in the Autumn with all the colors changing was an outstanding event, its like driving in a dreamland.
In Thunder Bay we meet with Peter and Cheryl a couple we meet in 2002 on the way to Alaska , it was nice meeting them again and sharing some time together.
After storing the rig in Thunder Bay we took off for the winter...
