Westward Ho!!

Our first day of vacation took us all the way to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Thankfully the trip was unremarkable. I like riding shotgun so I can take pictures.

I try to take pictures of the state welcome signs.

This crop duster was fairly close.

We watched the temperature climb and climb.

The cloud formations were really dramatic. The space is so vast.


We watched the temperature change.


We arrived in the capitol city of Wyoming.
This Union Pacific rail yard is the largest yard I have seen.This picture cannot do the yard justice.

One of several boots celebrating the centennial of the state.

We attempted a trolley tour. We had to bail half way through. We think it was half way, not quite sure. Good thing my camera was on my wrist as I fell asleep and dropped it. I didn't take any pictures on the tour as we kept passing by the same buildings over and over. He was an old disk jockey and former teacher. He showed us all the sites where buildings USE to be.

Here are some pricey boots at the Wrangler Store.
A boy from Florida is wearing his well worn Johnny Popper boots.
He was outfitted with some new ones.
We are truly in cowboy country.
This buffalo greeted us after we crossed to Colorado.
You can see for miles.

The beginning of many pictures of scenery. I can't put but a small sampling on.

We walk to down town and see the famous Stanley Hotel.

Lunch is at the deli next to the theater. All the sandwiches are named after movies.
This is the Three Sopranos.


I would like to get my nerve up to ride up the cable car. After all we are all acclimating
Rocks on the way to downtown.
We rode our bikes downtown for dinner. It was downhill all the way.
It really wasn't so bad going back.
The elevator is out so it's hike a bike to our room 8 flights up.
It's getting easier and we aren't gasping for breath quite so bad.

Till next time,
Kim
