Willow Campground Site 15 near Laramie

It was foggy this morning but became clear after breakfast. Such a beautiful drive with buttes, sage, and antelope. We stopped for a picnic at Ft Steele rest area and then turned off I-80 and drove through Saratoga , up one side of Medicine Bow Mt and then over the top and down the other side.

We stopped at Nash Campground near the top of the summit as it was recently redone. It's very nice, but no shade.

We checked out our favorite campgrounds, Pine and Willow, at Libby Creek. The one good site at Pine was full. Our favorite site at Willow was reserved, but the second favorite next to it is open indefinitely. We'll be here at least 8 nights, depending on how our dental appts go next week. We hope to drive back to Missouri slowly. Phil wants to stop at the Meindl Boot store in Sydney, NE. He also wants to stop in Topeka to visit his parents' graves. We hope to stop in Kansas City to visit Phil's brother and family, my Mom and Stepdad, and maybe my brother and his wife if everyone is around. We will also stop in Nixa, MO, to see my dad and stepmom. We hope to also swing through Branson and go to Silver Dollar City since we have season passes and have not been yet this year.

Thanks to all of you who came along for the 75-day ride with us to Alaska and back. It was a great trip and makes us want to do more of these kinds of road trips in the future.Baca selengkapnya
