Rocky Mountain National Park
The ride through southern Wyoming was definitely different. I guess we went about 300 to 400 miles across some of the most desolate land I have traveled. Riding down the highway, we had the road all to ourselves. We would occasionally see a house about every 50 miles or so.
We finally ran across the Interstate we were looking for, and jumped on. We passed several Oil Wells. I had no idea that they had those in Wyoming. I thought that was a Texas thing!! Live and learn they say.
We pulled in to Lander, Wyoming sometime early evening. I had in mind a camping area that we could stay in. I had not made reservations yet. We were pretty darn hungry by now, so decided to stop in a little burger joint on the main drag. Either I was really hungry, or that burger was awesome!!.
We started talking to this guy outside the restaurant. He asked us where we were staying. I told him the name of the campground. He suggested we stay in the city park. He said we could stay there for free - what a deal!. The park was great. We shared it with several other tent campers. There were no showers, but luckily the hotel in town had public use showers for 5 bucks, so we cleaned up before continuing onward toward Grand Teton National Park.
