Yellowstone to Longmont

Yellowstone to Longmont,CO.

Thursday: Left the campground about 8:00. The drive to the East Entrance was beautiful. There was snow everywhere. Some of the small lakes were still frozen. We drove through the Wind River Canyon; a Wyoming Scenic Drive. Stayed the night at Boyson State Park just west of Shoshoni, WY. We camped right on the Boyson Reservoir. Us and two other people. They were both fisherman. The weather is finally warming up. Blue skies & sunshine. We talked about how nice the sun felt time & again. For the hundredth time we agreed we could never live on the coast of OR or WA. Wouldn’t care for the grey, damp, misty weather.

Friday: Continued heading east. Passed through the “town” of Hiland. Population of ten. Not even a crossroad, just a small store and a few trailers. We think this is the smallest “town” we’ve ever seen. This is a very rural part of WY. Huge ranches; some oil fields here & there. At least it’s nice and green. Not like brown West Texas or SE New Mexico.

Tonight we’re staying at the Lewis City Park in Wheatland, WY. There are six RV spaces with electrical hookups right inside the Park. The sign says three nights max. stay. Bought gas & some grocery items. Tomorrow we drive to the Boyd Lake SP near Loveland, CO.

Saturday: Went to Boyd Lake SP. They were full. This is the first time we have run into a full campground. No surprise I suppose. It’s Saturday, school’s out, and it’s a beautiful day. Called Suzanne & headed for Longmont instead. Suzanne called us about noon time. Izzy cut her leg on a tin can lid and they were on their way to the Emergency Room. We drove to the park near their house and waited for Suzanne. She got home about 3:30. Izzy is feeling fine. Got pizza for dinner. Suzanne & Chris had tickets to a big concert today. Suzanne missed the concert. Carol & Izzy spent the evening watching a movie. We had a very nice time visiting.

Sunday, June 8th: Mostly hung around enjoying everyones company. Heading home in the morning.
