Cheyenne, WY

No pictures today, sorry. Internet is spares here, so reports might be delayed.

We got an early start to get to Cheyenne, WY before the weather got miserable. We expected a lot of rain and high winds as the afternoon progressed and were happy to find it much better on the road. The countryside on the way down was beautiful. Just prior to leaving South Dakota we went through the town of Hot Springs and found it to be a nice place to visit if we had more time. Wyoming has a population of less than 600,000 so towns and people were sparse.

Can’t say much for the campground we are in. We had planned on staying on Warren AFB here in Cheyenne. We called yesterday to see if they would be open considering the government shutdown. There was no answer and no call back, so as we drove south I called a commercial campground and booked space. It is a good thing we did, since this place is about the only campground in the area and it is filling up with people trying to get out of the weather for a day or two. There is already a large population of permanent tenants here, and it is in a somewhat rundown area.

It looks like six to eight inches of snow through tomorrow, so we are just happy to be tucked in somewhere. We will likely only leave the coach tomorrow to walk the dog, so we stocked up on popcorn and reading material. If it clears up as expected Saturday we will drive down to Fort Collins, CO to check things out there. We will do that in the jeep and leave the coach here. By Sunday the roads should be fine and we will be off. Where to? TBD, but I hope it is warmer.
