Made it to Cheyenne, WY.
Only a 3 ½ hour drive from
Colorado Springs. We stayed at the
“famous” Terry Bison Ranch for a week. http://www.terrybisonranch.com
We saw Bison, Camels, Antelope & Deer. They have a great Steakhouse there as well as
Tombstone Café that serves breakfast and lunch.
Cheyenne (population 64,000) isn’t a big city. It has a small town feel. There is a historic downtown that’s pretty
cool.
There’s an old Union Pacific train station that is now
Accomplice Beer Company. http://www.accomplicebeer.com
A lot of the original floors and walls are still
there. The Union Pacific train runs
right behind here. While we were there 5
trains passed. 3 of them stopped to
change train engineers.
We spent a couple of hours there. We didn’t realize there was so much history
in Wyoming. They found dinosaur
bones. A lot of them. As well several Indian tribes, cowboys, etc.
It was 59 degrees out.
(not sure of the water temperature)
I thought I was going to have to go in and get them. We’d call them, they’d get close to shore,
then out they’d go again! They swam for
about 45 minutes and loved it.
We went somewhere every day. There was always somewhere to go and something different to see.
