Sep 18, 2012 - Henry's Lake to Colorado

We left Henry's Lake on Thursday morning and drove through Yellowstone Park departing through the East entrance of the park. We had not driven through that part of the park and so it was a new experience for us. The drive was incredible. We drove down the mountains through a valley as we followed the river. We arrived at the Buffalo Bill State Park in the afternoon and set up. The park is beautiful and is comprised of two campgrounds, the one we stayed in was at the upper end of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir and the other is about 4 miles...

Jun 5, 2011 - Glendo State Park

We moved from Cheyenne on the 3rd and are in Glendo, WY. We traveled about 110 miles. All of it was grassland with rolling hills. We washed the 5th wheel before we left. It was filthy after driving in the rain and snow going through Vail. We found out how “big” the thing really is. It sure looks better now. We got to see many antelope along the freeway, but only one newborn. I would have thought we would have seen many more, but maybe it’s too early yet. We had a little excitement along the way. Before we left Cheyenne, one of the little...

May 30, 2010 - Day 9

I feel like we are on our journey home even though we still have Denver, dinner with Mike and Laura, a night in Santa Fe, NM then home. I don't want to go! I could keep doing this for a few more weeks, maybe even months. Nothing to do but drive to our next stop, hike, walk, spend money (that's a big problem for me) see the countryside, and talk to people. We have met and talked to several individual from all over the world. I was helping some German folks say "laundry detergent" so that they could go buy some, in Sheridan. This morning a...

Jul 20, 2009 - July 17-24, 2009 Glendo, WY

Glendo Lakeside RV Park This RV park is right inside the entrance of the Glendo State Park and close to the lake. The owners are wonderful and the park is really nice. The owners were working on upgrades while we were there and constantly working to keep the place neat and clean. The site are good size and all pull through. We looked the campground and would go again except for one thing---the trains. The campground and town in right next to the train tracks which bring trains of coal to the power plant that is about 50 miles away. The...

May 17, 2009 - Cheyenne FamCamp

Finally, we got out of Denver! I was beginning to think we'd never make it, even after I told Pastor Mark not to preach too long on Sunday morning. He didn't, but his message about loving one another will be one we will need during the trip.....This is the longest time Chuck and I have spent together in our 31 years of marriage. We only drove as far as FE Warren, AFB in Cheyenne for our first night. It is a lovely little campground right on the edge of the Air Force Base. It was a beautiful evening so we ate outside and enjoyed the sunset.

Apr 28, 2009 - Glendo, WY Test Run

Welcome to Chuck and Gayle's ALCAN Adventure. We are heading up the ALCAN in May, so figured we needed to take the camper out and remember all the things we didn't put back into it over the winter. Went up to Glendo Reservoir, WY and stayed with our friends Tom and Terri. They were full timers for a while, but are back in a house most of the time now. Weather decided to give us a taste of Alaska early, as you can see from the picture. At least it reminded us of the cold weather gear we need this summer. Stayed at the B and W Mobile Home...

Jul 30, 2008 - Glendo Lake State Park Wyoming 7/8/2008

We did some dry camping at Glendo Lake State Park in Wyoming. Dry camping is no hookups of any kind -- no water, no electric, and no sewer. We hauled water in a 6 ½ gallon container. For electricity we used our solar panel or our generator. The view from our campsite was overlooking the lake and was spectacular.
