Day 3 & 4 - Western Wyoming

Hi everyone

Day 3 was an uneventful day.  We spent it around camp relaxing.  We took a morning fast walk around the 

neighborhood for about a 1.5 mile.  Great exercise.   Sat outside all day and bird watched.  In fact, we 

managed to see a new bird for us, the Western Kingbird.  That evening, we visited the onsite BBQ restaurant 

for a great treat.  They had the best Baby back ribs I have had in a very long time.  The meat fell off the bones 

and the sauce was out of this world.

Day 4 was a long and tiring day.  The 20 - 30 mph head winds made it very difficult and frustrating.  This was due

to the constant climbing.  Went from over 6,000 ft. elevation to over 8,000 ft. in a very short time.  Add the 

winds and mileage was non-existent.  Now throw in the holiday prices for fuel and you get the picture I'm 

trying to portray.   Thanks to the surrounding views of many animals and the snowcapped mountains in the 

background, at least this author was kept from screaming.

The Mountains are Calling!

One other item I failed to mention; we pass the time listening to an audio book: Daniel Silva's Black Widow.  A 

fantastic spy thriller.

We arrived at Fort Bridger 45 minutes behind our expected time due to the challenges mentioned above.  

Interesting town due to the U.S. Army fort that existed here in the 1800's.  Now, only a museum is left with 

a few out buildings.  And of course, the RV campground.  Elevation is just over 7,000 ft.   A complete 360 

from the previous one in Cheyenne.  This one is all thick grass with spacious sites and you will never have 

to worry having your neighbor "too close". 

We're leaving in the morning for Glenns Ferry, Idaho, where we will spend 2 nights.
