Wyoming - on the road home




 We’ve been 9 days without Wifi, and it’s a bit hard to catch up on that much blogging!!  I have to say that this trip has been a technology challenge.  If I have cell service, I don’t have wifi, and very often the reverse is true too.  It’s hard to believe that there are places that have no cell service but do have wifi (somewhat).  I am beginning to understand that “free wifi” means… “we maybe have wifi, as long as you want to access it between the hours of 2 and 4 pm and we are not at the end of our billing cycle and out of data allowance”.  Most places that advertise wifi really don’t have wifi… to speak of…

Neither John nor I have ever been to Wyoming, and the countryside is really beautiful.  We did not dilly-dally through Wyoming, but we did drive from the south end to the north end and saw the changes in the topography.  It is very pretty country.

We particularly enjoyed the Cottontail bunnies.  Well, DUH… it’s EASTER after all! 😊  There were cottontail bunnies pretty well from the time we entered Wyoming until we left.  Funnily enough, there don’t seem to be any bunnies in Montana…

Tawny LOVES bunnies (and Sammy too).  They love to chase after them, and it gives them (all) great exercise, and I'm happy to report that all the bunnies they encountered were MUCH faster runners than either cat...

We have seen lots of horses too (close up). Tawny is mesmorized by horses.  Sammy is afraid of them, but Tawny really seems to be intrigued and interested in them.



Sammy, IN the 5th wheel... never saw that before!! He didn't like the wind




Gorgeous view of ranchland in Wyoming

The weather has been cold and windy since we left the Denver area.  The wind gusts are up to 65-70 kms/hr and the steady wind doesn’t seem to be much less.  The cats are a bit freaked out by the wind, and we think it might end our hopes of ever having a campfire this trip. We have yet to have a campfire with over 2 months on the road!! We had the worst gas mileage ever driving into the wind today (April 15th) and the best gas mileage two days ago with the wind at our tail!  It’s been a bit of a crap shoot, but the constant is that it is really freaking windy all the time, everywhere.

We just crossed into Montana today and we're a couple of days from being home.  It's been a great trip.  Happy Easter, everyone!!!
