Today we ran Wyoming north to south without setting tire on the interstate. It was a good ride (and weather) although occasionally boring. All of the state highways had a speed limit of 65, which we did not really break because of the abundance of deer (no photos of them).Highlights of the day were the Wind River Valley and State Park and the Boysen State Park. The terrain in Wyoming is remarkable, all in all. The landscape can change within minutes, from rocky cliffs to wide ranging vistas.
Our hotel in Rawlings, Wyoming, is an Oak Tree Inn. I've never stayed at one before, but this is one weird hotel. The rooms are fine (actually good), but there are no service people physically in the building. There is no front door, either (check the photo album). To register, you have to go to Penny's Diner next door (open 24 hours), where they have a little window that serves as the Front Desk. If you should need a bar of soap, one of the waitresses will wipe off her hands and run one over. This is not a lie.
Tomorrow we cross over into Colorado. Only seven days to go. Our families are looking forward to our return. I did get to "see" my wife and children tonight via Skype video call. They look great, even though they got a bit too much sun yesterday at the new YMCA's pool. Crispy critters, I think.
264.4 miles today. 5,301.0 total miles.

I couldn't find the herd of longhorn sheep among the cliffs!
They certainly blend in well.
I don't know about the Oak Tree Inn with no door. How did you get in - through the window??? I bet you got some good food at the Diner, right? Stay safe.
Luv, Mom
