One more day in Sheridan

We will be staying in Sheridan, WY tonight due to weather warnings south on I25, snow and high winds, tomorrow is supposed to be alright. We have good WiFi at this park on the edge of Sheridan, population around 16000. Will do a drive about this afternoon, a very western historic town, Buffalo Bill country. The weather here today is cloudy, cool with showers, going to get frost tonight but suppose to go up to 13c (55F) tomorrow. Dogs are doing great, Cookie travels very well, she sleeps until the truck stops unless she needs to potty and as long as we take them both out before trip they both can easily go 4 – 5 hours, no problem. There are 2 horses in a pasture right next door, they came running up to the fence when we walked the dogs this morning, Oreo barked at them and Cookie just stopped and looked then wanted to run right up to them, we didn’t let her of course. Some trees here are still green and some just starting to turn, grass is still green in the pasture and lawns still green, hills brown which I think is the case most of the year except for irrigation or in the spring, not sure though, just guessing. I had better get some much needed cleaning done and grab something to eat. Woody is shopping for needed groceries, as we did not bring much with us due to border crossing and for insulation for the ceiling vents which will cut down on heat loss. Woody returned and did not locate the insulation he wanted, not serious will find some at some time during our travels. We visited a small museum close to the park, very interesting Sheridan has quite an interesting history, they even had their own brewery, sugar beet refinery, and flourmill for many years, and I wish I had picked up some information. Sheridan has several museums and historic sites, we did try to visit a couple, but they were closed, ah well maybe next time! There are still operating coalmines in the area. We were not sorry that we had to spend an extra day in Sheridan, we both commented that it would a place we could live, beautiful area.

Note the TeePee set up in the backyard, thought it was neat. Sheridan is noted for being a very western town.
