On the road to Cheyenne, WY

We were on the road around 9:30 after saying our goodbyes to Travis and Cindy who left a little before 8 a.m., Steve and Michelle who were leaving the same time as we were, Helen who will be spending the winter at the campground, and Paul and Sandy who came down to say goodbye as Paul had to work at the car rental store today. Isn't this lifestyle wonderful when you get to be touched by such nice people.

After sitting stationary for five months, you double check yourself on all the items that need to be done before you pull out on the road. I think both of us had some jitters but they soon disappeared and we were excited to be back on the road.

We had to deal with road construction, bumpy and wavy roads, and a strong headwind once we got on Interstate 25 heading south. Nothing like a strong headwind to cause you to suck fuel! We saw a lot of Pronghorn sometimes in groups of 20 or more.

As we approached this outcropping, we both commented that from a distance it looked like a small Devils Tower. Once we got closer, it was apparent that there was no resemblance whatsoever.

We thought this offered an interesting scene.

We got pulled into the Terry Bison Ranch ahead of Rick and Y around 4 p.m. This RV park/Guest Ranch sits about seven miles south of Cheyenne. The southern border of the park sits on the Colorado border. Rick and Y pulled in a while later and where in the process of getting set up when John took this picture of our two rigs side-by-side. For everyone who thinks we have a big truck, check our Rick and Y's - their truck makes our look not so big!

After visiting for a while, we got in their Jeep and headed to dinner. We had lots of good conversation. When we returned to our rigs, we went over to Rick and Y's and played a game of Shanghai (Rick won) and packed off to bed a little after midnight. A nice start to getting "On the road again".
