Wyoming Info

I have no new pictures to share with you today. I did some shopping and finally got an SD memory card for my new camera that will work. We are busy this week wrapping up details of our visit and getting business taken care of that we won't have to worry about on the road for a few weeks. Yesterday it rained and was very cool most of the day. We spent most of the day in Sheridan. We had dinner at the Bozeman Trail Steakhouse last night and the food was good. Today it has been very comfortable and all out another beautiful day without the help of Air Conditioning. I will share a few details about Wyoming that we have learned while here.

The name "Wyoming" comes from a Delaware Indian word meaning "at the big plains."

Population: 2004 estimate, 544,270....the least populated state of all states.

Area: 97,809 square miles or about 62.6 million acres. Ninth largest state in the union.

Overall Climate of Wyoming is classified as Semi-Arid, but rainfall can very from as little as five inches to as much as 45 inches. Average precipitation statewide is 14.8 inches per year.
Some days I am able to do more reading than others. Today being one of those.
I ran across a very interesting quote that seems very fitting, considering I have received word of the passing of several folks....

"Being someone's first love may be great, but to be their last is beyond perfect."
