A day in Wyoming




Today was a great day to get out and see more of America and so that is exactly what we did!

Having dropped off our extra baggage at the church last night, we set off on an un-planned excursion - Wyoming!
We took our time driving to Cheyene and then north to Casper and then northwest, ending up in the historic town of Cody, WY (http://www.codychamber.org) This is at the eastern edge of Yellowstone National Park (where we'll be tomorrow).

The scenery today as we drove through central Wyoming was really special. There were bluffs, sweeping vistas and lots of pronghorn running about. We really enjoyed the drive down the road that led into the Wind River gorge; it was really beautiful! Another treat was seeing a place made famous by the old west story-tellers, "Hells Half Acre." Similar in appearance to Bryce Canyon National Park, this was an unexpected bonus to the day!

Tomorrow promises to start out in the low 30's (F), but it is going to be a terrific day in the northwest corner of Wyoming for us!!!
