Billings to Casper: into Wyoming

The morning started cold…the first morning below freezing this trip. No problem for Wild Thing and we left the RV Park at 7:45. 5 miles down the road, I stopped for fuel and also added 3 cans of bg44K to the tank for cleaning.

Then, down the road we went…

…and into Wyoming.

Wyoming scenery.

Lake de Smet. I remember the name, but did not remember seeing so much of the lake…and such blue water. A surprise in arid, dusty Wyoming.

Just a bit of tech info: 3 years ago when I drove this route, I had a brief exposure to 4gLTE in the Denver area. This trip, I’ve had 4gLTE the entire way! I’ve noticed cell towers all along the way and this one – kind of in the middle of nowhere – just an example.

Fort Caspar Campground. Yes, the spelling is correct. It is Fort Caspar in Casper, Wyoming. I don’t know what happened ???

There is a walk in the scrub all around the perimeter of the campground. I didn’t take the camera. There are a LOT of rabbits and I’ve never felt comfortable making sure I control Bear (or Karl) amid the wild-ish critters. So these photos of the campground from inside the motorhome.

More campground.

Around the perimeter of the campground are long term persons – working in the area. The “middle” is mostly overnighter’s like me. But today/tonight, we have a lot of room.

Stuffed shells, roast cauliflower and some toasted rolls for supper.

A good travel day with the least amount of wind I’ve ever experienced into Casper. It was a 276 mild day and we have an even shorter hop tomorrow to Fort Collins.

It was a togetherness kind of travel day. Auggie rode under my chair today. Bear always rides on the engine “hump” with his nose next to my left leg.

I’m looking forward to getting to Fort Collins tomorrow as we will sit there until Saturday.
