Jul 8, 2012 - Wyoming? WY not!

We started off today by heading to Casa Bonita - "The World's Most Entertaining Restaurant." Adam was reminded by his mom that he had been there when he was very young. It is located just west of downtown Denver. The layout of this restaurant is like nothing you have ever seen. Palm trees, lights, a water fall, bridge, different levels and a very interesting atmosphere. Every 15 minutes there is a show - daring cliff divers (who dive off a cliff in front of the waterfall and into the pool below) or a fun little skit, that usually ends by...

Jun 25, 2012 - Betsy on horse back

I started her day with a long trail ride on a mere called Julie. It was great fun. I think I was ten years old the last time I road a horse. And I remembered everything I needed to know. Nobody else wanted to ride that early in the morning. So it was just me and the guide.We saw antelope, rabbits and numerous prairie dogs and of course buffalo. I was not at all sore. My guide is a young woman Punxsutawney,Pa. I told her I didn't think anyone REALLY lived there. She said the only good thing was that on "Groundhog Day" they let school out....

Jun 24, 2012 - Fort Bridger, Wy. to Cheyenne, Wy.

Sunday June 24th: Today started out good. Well the whole day can't be good. Bought gas and drove for 40 miles to Little America, Wy.. It now has a hotel, resteraunt, souvenier shop, and gas station and is a major truck stop.I remember back in 1964 it was the only gas stop between Laramie, Wy. to the east and Salt Lake City, Ut. to the west with 125 gas pumps and bar. In my opinion the place has went to the dawgs. The we drove for another 200 miles and stopped for gas and lunch. Only 140 more miles to go today and then things started to...

Jun 24, 2012 - Botanical Garden

Went to the Botanical Garden today. It was ok but the children's garden across the street was really cool. It had water gardens that the kids could wade in and touch the water plants. Some little girl lost her glasses in the wading pool. Got an early start this morning including breakfast in nice little diner. And by early afternoon we were back in the rv with the air running full tilt. Had an early dinner and went trout fishing after. I fished and Betsy took picture. The general manager of the ranch was there fishing with his girl...

Jun 18, 2012 - Gunnison to Cheyenne, Wyoming...

Okay, so close your eyes ok? Picture John Denver...Can you see him? Now hum (or sing!)...'Rocky Mountain high, in Coloradooooo, Rocky Mountain Highhh...Well, that's what we experienced on today's 300 mile trip! Oh my, what a ride....We were up & we were down, and we curved left & we curved right. And the farther we drove the hotter it got. In fact, when we arrived in the Denver area about 4pm it was 100 degrees! For only the second time in six years our truck ran a bit warm. We of course did what we needed to do & it dropped back to normal...

Jun 7, 2012 - Terry Bison Ranch 06-05--06-06-12

Traveled into Cheyenne and walked downtown. We saw the largest steam...

May 18, 2012 - Cheyenne

We sort of hung around Cheyenne for a couple of days and got stuff sorted out while we waited for our new RV to be made ready for us. After Colorado, Cheyenne was a bit of a letdown. The town is known for colourful cowboy boots and the preservation of some nice old buildings. Other than the colourful boots and a fairly good coffee shop it is probably a reasonable place to drive straight through. After we picked up the new RV we decided that the town of Centennial would be a nice place to visit considering we have watched the series and I...

May 8, 2012 - Cheyenne, A Long Weekend in a Motel

With the coach in the shop for the weekend, we now had time to do a lot of looking at Cheyenne attractions. We also had a little shopping to do including a new point and shoot camera for Judie since the lens cover on the current one will not close. Judie noted a farmer’s market at the Old Union Pacific Museum Saturday morning so we put that on our list after going to Petco to get Joy a Thundershirt to help her nervousness traveling in the coach. In addition to the Thundershirt, which is just a tight fitting coat, we purchased 2 soft sided...

Dec 6, 2011 - Now in Cheyenne

Another smooth day and another early arrival at our destination. Not much to report other than the weather was very VERY cold this morning - dropped down to 6 below zero in the early hours. Hovered in the single digits until we crossed the Colorado state line - where it climbed into the teens and then into the low 20's. Mmmmm, warm! There really isn't much to see - much less photograph - along Interstate 70 between Hays and Denver. The rockies were covered in snow - and beautiful in the distance - but we took a sharp right just east of...
