Last night we stayed at the Kimball RV Park in Kimball, NE.  We had a beautiful sunrise.          This morning we headed west to Cheyenne, WY.  It is very foggy.  Within minutes of crossing the state line into Wyoming the scenery changed dramatically.  Gone was the flat farm land and hello beautiful country.  We stopped at the Wyoming Welcome Center to get some information.    These two little guys had stopped for a break also.   This is the old governor’s mansion.  It was beautiful.      

The Wyoming state capital building.  Great sculptures.

 

The old depot downtown.

Chicago has it bulls, Lindsborg has its….do you remember…right, it’s horses and Cheyenne has it boots.

There was so much to see we decided to spend a second night in Cheyenne.  Ok…does anyone want to guess why…what do you think I found…you are getting warm…yes, yes!!  The quilt shop!

All of the ladies I meet at these shops are so nice.  Thanks Erma Parkins and Marilyn Brittain for all your help at The Quilted Corner.  Now if I just had time to sew!

And then we have beauty…and the beast.   There are lots of refineries in Wyoming…lots of oil.

Before leaving Cheyenne we found out that our dear friend, Joy Ethridge, was traveling the same route only about a day ahead of us.  We changed our plans a bit and instead of heading directly to Cody we went due north to meet Joy and her friend, Bo, who was traveling with her, in Buffalo, Wyoming.  We had not seen Joy in a year so we had a great time spending the evening with her and Bo. 

It is always so good to meet your RV friends in different parts of the country…you never know where.

Moving on.
