Such interesting formations, Iwent nuts taking pictures of the different formations, I find them fascinating.
A closer view.
The camera didn't catch the detail the eye can see but interesting just the same.
We did drive through areas with snow and were happy we waited in Sheridan.
Coming into Casper, WY. There was snow on the ground and on house roofs anywhere the sun had not had a chance to melt it yet and this was afternoon already. Casper's elevation is around 5000'. We thought it was interesting that the top of the mountains were snow free and the snow has collected at a lower level.
After we left the Casper area and headed further south we lost the snow
The changing landscape.
We arrived in Wheatland about 4:30 pm, and settled into Mountain View Park, the sites were level but rather small, not a place we would stay any length of time, we have a view of the Laramie Mountains. The Laramie Mountains are a range of the Rockies, encompassing the area from southeast Wyoming to north Colorado. Laramie Peak, the highest peak in the range, is 10,272 ft. The principal mineral of the range, coal, is found in the foothills. Wheatland’s elevation is just over 5000’ and sits in the centre of the mountain range. The owners of Mountain View Park are friendly and helpful, we had problems with the WiFi, they immediately checked for problems with their WiFi system, when they could not get it working, they called a service man, turns out that there was some parts that were burned out which needed to be ordered, so they transferred our site to use the office WiFi, you cannot ask for better service than that, especially when it is all after hours! There was an open area to walk the dogs, not huge but big enough and we could walk them around town also, fuel across the street, it was a good place for an overnight stop. Tomorrow we will be in Longmont, CO and stay for a few days, looking forward to visiting friends there.
