In Wyoming

We made it to Sheridan, WY today; we drove through several small mountain ranges, grasslands, and wide-open country and drove through the battlefield area of Little Big Horn, Custer’s Last stand. We could not help thinking about that silly song “Please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go”, cannot even remember the name of the song. We saw 3 horses silhouetted on the top of one hill, so cool but sure made us think of what it must have been like for settlers travelling along the valley and then see Indians pop up over the hill. The hills/mountains are so many different shapes and configurations, some totally bare except for grass and others covered with trees, some a variation of grass and trees, I left the camera in the fifth wheel again so didn’t get any pictures and no where to pull off the road, secondary 2 lane highway, not sure why we are not remembering the camera, I think we are anxious to hit warmer weather and have not got into the travel for fun mode yet. It surely was a nice drive except for one area where the winds were gusting, we had to slow down and take it easy for a few miles. Thinking it is one of those areas where the winds always blow due to the configuration of hills and valleys. We are staying at Peter D’s campground in Sheridan, a very nice campground, squeaky clean and the gentleman that runs it is very friendly and loves dogs, as Woody was getting the fifth set up and I was heading out to walk the dogs Peter came over with treats for our dogs and making sure we were happy or if we needed anything. He told us that he and his wife set this park up specifically for RVer’s heading south for the winter, it is a 55+ park, and there is an area that we can let Oreo run free which is rare to find in RV parks. This park is not big but very nice and well laid out for big rigs. We enjoyed our evening relaxing and chatting online with friends as usual.
