Are you kidding !?! Another day of driving ALL day in snowstorms! We climbed slowly to the 8,400 foot pass as we headed north through "Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area". By the time we reached the dam and bridge, the truck was iced coated. It snowed and blowed all the way to Casper, Wyoming but we made it without problems and checked into the KOA for a night into the 30's. We have a new electric space heater that decided to quit and could not find one to replace it anywhere in town cause this is summer !?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK !! Thursday, May 12th
What a GREAT day...Nick's 25th birthday and we were in Casper where he lives to help celebrate. We met him at his work for lunch with a birthday cake and hamburgers. Later, we went to dinner at "Poor Boys" steakhouse where this photo was taken. I'm not sure from the pic who had the biggest smile all night, although I'm sure Nick had the biggest steak. It was great to see him and we had a wonderful day catching up with him and talking about his life.
Friday the 13th of May
So much for superstitions! This was another great day and the first day of sunshine since we left...it was beautiful out...sunny & 70. We checked out some of the great history here in Casper at the "National Historic Trails Interpretive Site". Casper is a place where the greatest pioneer trails - the Oregon trail, Mormon trail, California gold trail and the Pony Express - all converged to cross the North Platte river for the last time before continuing west. There is some fascinating history there if you want to learn:
Tonight with Nick...the Casper mall and a Chinese buffet.
