Holed up in Cheyenne, WY

Day 8, 9, 10.... Due to ice fog, freezing rain and snow.

Cheyenne, WY. Checked out Sierra Trading Post and was disappointed. Doesn't hold a candle to my lovely MEC. Oh, well. Toured around Cheyenne thanks mostly to our GPS (Samantha) who has not got a clue about this city. It's a good way to see places if you're not in any rush to get somewhere! We did find the 2 RV places, no thanks to Sam, and picked up a couple of needful things for the rig. There are a few cute bunnies that hang out at the campsite.
Today, Oct. 30th, day 10 we woke up to about 1.5-2 cm of snow. Looks pretty but after the freezing rain the previous days not great for the roads. The temperature is supposed to get above freezing today and the sky is clear this morning so as soon as it starts melting we will make a move south. John says we will aim for Pueblo, Colorado.
John was in contact with Bob and Jo Evans. They are touring in Arizona and we hope to meet up with them in Albuquerque, New Mexico later this week.

  1. Yep we were in that big storm that is coming at you from Canada. It took 2 hours to travel from Dead Man's Flats to cowtown! 27 cars in the ditch! sent a picture to your iPhone.
    Hoping this comment will go through now that I signed in.

  4. Looking at the ranch land photos on last posting, you can see why it can take up to 100 acres each for pasturing cattle in Wyoming. It sure does not look like a crowded state!
