      Into Wyoming

      September 16, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      Tom insisted that we finally leave Spearfish...it was almost noon and we still needed to get ⛽! (Never a fun stop, we typically spend over $200 filling up- ouch! 🤑)

      Back on 90 West. Road in pretty good condition, except for the periodic lane closurers in place for road construction. My "favorite" time to drive is hurtling down the freeway at 65 mph (with jeep in tow) in a single lane separated from the lane going in the opposite direction with orange lane barriers. Oh, and with Gusty wind conditions! My hands and shoulders are exhausted at the end of day!

      Made a quick stop at the Wyoming Welcome Center.
      Another beautiful building with nice exhibits, and of course, with ALL those maps, guides and brochures. I usually have to get a bag to leave-- it drives Tom crazy! (I love welcome centers !)

      We are still headed to Yellowstone, but via Sheridan, Nonnys birthplace. Not too far out of the way and sets us up for a drive thru the Big Horn Mountains. Nice warm day and as we got into Wyoming we are driving thru high plains, prairie looking topography. Rolling hills, lots of cattle ranches and less farms. We had a lot of views of those small prong horn antelope.

      Decided on a FHU park instead of Walmart because it was 80° with no breeze. I do much better with AC at the end of the day. Pulled into the RV Park about 4:00. Nice park, but no trees and pretty tight sites again. Had a nice big area to run Charlie!
