I woke up on
my birthday camped in back of a Flying J.
There was a Denny’s restaurant across the street. Norm treated me to breakfast. They give you a free breakfast on your
birthday. That Norm really knows how to
treat a lady.
We stayed in
Cheyenne, Wyoming for 3 nights so we could get the truck’s 30,000 mile check
and oil changed. Plus it’s within 50 miles of Norm’s sister Debbie and nephew
Jordan. While Norm took the truck in I
stayed home and cleaned the RV. The RV
gets filthy inside and out after driving over those dusty gravel roads on the
Alcan Highway. I dusted, wiped down,
vacuumed and moped. Ahh, feels so good
to get cleaned up. The outside is more
of a chore; we’ll wait until we get home to wash it. Saturday we went to Laramie to spend the day
with Deb & Jordan. The weather
turned out perfect. Jordan made us a
breakfast casserole and Deb had a nice table setting outside in the beautiful
weather. We sat outside for some time
chatting and the day flew by way to soon.
We debated staying another day so we could all go do something either in
Cheyenne or close by, but it seems everything closes up on Sundays. So we decided to head on toward home. We traveled about 260 miles yesterday and are
now camped at a National Forest campsite near Colorado City. It’s farther off the road for an overnight
but we couldn’t resist the temptation of going up to almost 9,000 feet in
elevation and the lake sounded nice. It
is nice up here, gets real cool at night.
Aspen and spruce trees up on a ledge that over look a small lake. Bishop’s Castle is within a few miles of
here. We plan to check that out
today. The castle belongs to a private
individual who started building it many years ago. What started as a cabin turned into a castle
and he allows anyone to come tour the place at no charge. Because we love it here and want to go see
the castle we’ll stay 2 nights. Only
thing is I find it hard to breathe at this altitude. Just sitting doing nothing I feel out of
breath.
