Discovering Alaska and beyond.... travel blog


January 10, 2003

From Denver, we stopped going west and turned north towards Wyoming. We were looking forward to seeing the beautiful mountains in Wyoming and Montana. So far, we had not seen any snow. It had been a mild winter everywhere. We drove through Fort Collins, Colorado on Highway 25 and into Wyoming. There really weren't as many mountains to see as we thought. The only ones we really thought were cool were the Bighorn Mountains. Route 25 must not show you all the scenery in Wyoming.

Our goal being to get through Wyoming in one day and Montana the next, we got to Sheridan at the very north portion of Wyoming. It was here, I really started to freeze my butt off. We stopped at a Walmart, and I bought some warm socks and some warm-"looking" boots. I was to find out later how useful these boots would be in Alaska. At least my feet were a little warmer, and I didn't feel like such a dummy.

We stayed at the Days Inn in Sheridan, Wyoming. They let us stay with our dog and cat for a small pet deposit, also. They were very friendly and a very clean motel. If you're ever needing to stay somewhere in Sheridan, Wyoming, you can call them at (307) 672-2888. We proceeded to perform our insane "Rearrange the truck" ritual. Good grief, that was really getting old. We were still carrying in too much crap and had not yet learned to downsize our luggage.
