Our Journey East - Day 4 ... Running Wyoming


On the road at 0845 hrs or so.  Running through Southern Wyoming is mile after mile of dry desert-like ranch land.  5-6 hours worth before we get to some interesting changes in the landscape and some larger towns - Laramie and Cheyenne.


Wyoming ... barren .. for hours n hours 

Astrid takes a run at driving the moho for an hour coming in to Laramie but is safety minded and passes it back before hitting Cheyenne - anticipations of traffic in the big rig.



When we hit Cheyenne, stopped in at the visitors centre - opened last October and an impressive building.  Astrid marvelled at the dog park - best by far we had seen.  Most were dry gulch strips of land added as an afterthought as a "pet walk area"  ... some even had the gall to say "pets only in far grassy area".  There was no grass at all, just tumbleweed, so we heeded the sign as the design begged.  NOT.




Connor & Ceilidh do appreciate green .... and Connor likes all the critters that follow to know he was there... a dribble here, a dribble there, everywhere a dribble, squirt.

The Welcome Centre was new in October, 2012 ... very nice spot with wifi and lotsa good help.




We head east to find the Nebraska border in about an hour and tire so find a spot, home to Cabela's outdoor gear - www.cabelas.com/... World Headquarters in Sydney, Nebraska !

Cabela's Outdoor Gear supplier ... World Headquarters in Nebraska
Park in at Cabela's RV camp ... very nice and all the services... except the wifi wasn't strong ...  too slow to do anything... hmmm.  Wassup with that ?

BTW ... posted Day 2-5 sitting outside a hotel on a Boingo Wifi feed .. Sunday a.m. .. it's now 1:25 pm.. slow start today .. Ceilidh, one of our Pyrs, is epileptic and had a seizure at 4:00 am last night.  Long night calming her down .... all is well now.

On the road again.  Check us out here ... Google Maps.

Cheers
Astrid 'n Steve
