The wind came up about 3am and the tree beside our RV on the bed side decided to disturb our sleep. The branches were beating on the slide-out right over our head. At first we thought it was hard rain but it was only wind. We were pokey this morning getting ready to go in hopes the wind would die down, but nope, it continued to blow like a Nor'easter. So, do we stay or get on the road? We decided to move on and hoped the wind would dissipate. We had a tail wind for about an hour, but then a cross wind most of the rest of the afternoon. About 20 miles north of Cheyenne (our destination) it abruptly stopped. It was a hard day for Roger battling to keep the RV on the road (although he says he had experienced worse times) and I was dosed with the dog's dramamine! Maggie was dosed with Valium so she didn't care!
No photos again today :-( I really like using them, but we saw nothing to take a picture of. It's so disappointing. Although the scenery was greener than the yesterday's leg, it was just rolling hills for as far as you could see. Some ranches, lots of cattle and horses, but yet again, no wild life.
I have news for our fellow "Longmire" fans - there is no Absaroka County in Wyoming. Nor, is there a Durant. But, there is an Absaroka Wilderness area at the border of Montana and Wyoming and there is a town called Absarokee which is on the Crow reservation.
We are in Cheyenne for two nights. Tomorrow we are going to go into town, have some lunch, and do some sightseeing. From the brochures it looks like it has potential for some fun. I hope to have something to write about tomorrow as well as some photos.
