Pre-trip camping

We are camping at Vedauwoo Campground, 8,300 ft above sea level, before the trip. Last night we slept on our old foam camping mattress on the apartment floor. It was from Boise when we still had the van. It wasn't too comfortable so we decided to take the camper up to the campground about 15 miles from Laramie in the Medicine Bow Pole Mountain area.

It's pretty windy, but very beautiful. It's cool at about 60 degrees. In the morning, we'll take the car to be serviced and in the early afternoon check out of our apartment.

My last week of school/work, I got an award from my department called the "Conveyor of Wisdom" or C.O.W. award and along with that came a big basket of different cows. I have one on the trip with us and I will call her "Bossy". You can see her below rock climbing at Vedauwoo.Read more
