We moved today from Bar Nunn KOA down to Ft. Caspar Campground in the town of Casper WY. We got here just before the rain started. The rain is coming down again, and it's forcast right on through the weekend. These clouds are the indication that it will pour over the Casper Mountain again. Not good photo ops here today.We are having a good visit with some friends from our winter park in Arizona that are from here.
The men played golf yesterday and wanted a chance to play again tomorrow, but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate. We were at their place last night and it rained and stormed the whole time. We did a bit of shopping this afternoon on a break in the rain, and had a bite to eat at the Johnny J's diner. Excellent food. A new restaurant close to WalMart. I will cook and have our friends over for supper tomorrow night, providing I'm not looking for oars while we're floating down the North Platte River! We are pretty close to the river and it surrounds us on three sides. A little nervous, but will keep an eye out. Once again I am reminded that this is why we have wheels on our house! Now if we get flooded, shame on us! Forboding clouds, thunder and lightening. There's no tornados to worry about though! We really haven't done anything to speak of or toured anything historical. We gave KayCee a bath at a Car/Dog Wash last night.
She is a nice smelling house frau now!!!! Will have to have the furnace again tonight. It is almost cold here! 58 degrees tonight. Snow is still on the top of Casper Mountain. Saturday we are moving to our next destination and I'm kinda excited about it. We will set down in Buffalo Wyoming for a while. Two summers ago, we spent a week in KayCee Wyoming, the home of Chris LeDoux,(rodeo star/country singer) and his family's ranch. They all still live there, and they were just starting a memorial in the middle of the town honoring him. Well, they are having a celebration next weekend and dedicating that memorial. We will attend that. We met some of his family when we were there before, so I think we've picked a great time to be in the area. Garth Brooks may even attend, and also his good friends Sawyer Brown maybe? We'll see. I'm in the mood for some good rodeo, and they're having a Bronc Riding Event in his honor also. Later in the month in Buffalo there's a music festival too and we will probably be there for the 4th of July. There's a lot to see and do in the Buffalo/Sheridan area. We'll take some time and explore some in the Big Horn Mountains, taking in the old west history before we move on north. Finally we will stay long enough to get DH some glasses and kick back and relax. We've kinda been on the move for quite a while, more than we're used to. This campground is almost full. The end of the week is the beginning of the National College Rodeo Finals held here every year. I think we'll be ready to get on the road on Saturday and get out of their way!
