Terry Bison Ranch RV Park Cheyenne WY
The ride to Cheyenne was long, nice and thankfully, uneventful.
The further away we got the clearer the skies and air. God Bless those poor folks in Montana especially the Firefighters and National Guard working through them.
Since we had a long ride, we left early. The beautiful sunrise was encouraging for the adventure ahead.
I love when we stop and get to read the history of the land that we are looking at.
Wyoming is amazing to me because you drive for miles and miles down the long highway there is no telling what you’ll see. Wildlife, rolling hills, flat land, farmland and then the hidden treasures like the art pieces on the top of a hill, an eagles nest on top of a pole, or a hawk sitting on a fence post. And then the things you see in the clouds , it reminds me of elementary school when we’d go outside and lay down under the trees and see what we could see in the clouds. Some of the mountains and rock formations have “faces” and shapes that just make you say “Wow, thank you, Lord”.
I wish there was a “Milepost” book for every road we travel on in the lower 48, there’s so much out there that I would love to know about.
I’ll leave you with these tidbits:
Looks like the “Marlboro Man”
See the “eyes” in the side of this mountain
What do you see in this cloud?
What do you see in this cloud?
We were following the Lewis & Clark Trail in Montana, but I forgot to mention the Trails across Wyoming signs I kept seeing. These signs show we are riding along The Oregon Trail, The Mormon Pioneer Trail, The California Trail and the Pony Express Route…..pretty cool, huh.
And the reminders to Buckle Up
We made it to Terry Bison Ranch Campground (it’s right on the Colorado/Wyoming border). You’ll have to Google the history of this place, but it’s pretty cool; over 27,000 acres. Since we were only here for the night, we didn’t do the whole thing, but I would love to bring my grandkids here to see it. Needless to say they do have “bison”, but they also have camels among other things; and some really cool rides the kids would like.
OK, that’s it….too many pics to try to sift through.
Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.
RV Riding is even seeing Camels in Wyoming!
Peter D’s RV Park Sheridan, WY
Well, I’ve been slack again, but nothing big has been happening. You know, after Yellowstone, the rest is just gravy. So, let me catch up on what’s been going on.
After Mr. Charley got his eye shot in Bozeman, MT; we had reservations to go back to Fort Harrison in Helena to get through the rest of the month & past Labor Day weekend. Well, that was the plan, anyway. For those of you who haven’t heard, there is some really bad wildfires burning in MT (and now, Oregon & California). The smoke wasn’t that bad in Livingston/Bozeman area, but as we made our way back to Helena, it was pretty smoky. I kept Googling the wildfire locations and even though there were a couple of fires “near Helena”, there were no evacuations in Helena, so we went on & checked in to the camp.( I really like this place, since the laundry is FREE and the sites are nice). After a few days, we noticed the smoke was getting worse (really smoky smelling and thicker), and I couldn’t even stand to sit outside for very long, my eyes were burning so bad. Anyway, we decided to leave earlier than planned, if we could find some open campgrounds along the way.
One of our “neighbors” told Mr.Charley he had to head east to North Platte, Nebraska and visit the Golden Spike Tower home of the world’s largest railroad yard. We made plans to head that way, especially since Hurricane Harvey has devastated Texas and the Gulf Coast. So, we bit the bullet, and hit the road heading back to Sheridan, WY.
Here’s the last sunrise out of Helena, you can see how smoky it is:
And further up the road, the smoke is just terrible, you can’t even see the mountains in the background
One thing we saw along the way were burned areas along the side of the highway. I don’t know if these were from lightning strikes or idiots throwing out cigarettes, but there were numerous places along the drive that had some serious burns.
One thing I do love out here is the sights! You drive for miles and see such beautiful scenery, wildlife and even some random artwork. I thought this was a herd of horses and realized someone went to a lot of time and energy putting these up
And then, you look the other way and there’s a hot air balloon!
But nothing beats the beautiful BIG SKY!
Just a few more and then I’ll let you go:
And, this little thing is constantly wanting to come up front & sit on my lap
(Yeah, sometimes I let her)
We arrived in Sheridan safely. Tomorrow, we’ll head to Cheyenne, WY as we make our way back home.
Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.
RV Riding is changing plans and making new ones all the time
