heading home

We have been on the road for several days now, have seen so many things. What a different terrain there is in the United States of America. We are now in Sheridan, Wyoming.  Last night we stayed in Buffalo Bill State Park, nice quiet place to stay, dry camping, but that works okay. We have everything we need in the camper. We stopped at Buffalo Bill Dam this morning, what a marvelous
place that is. We were there 50 years ago, and boy has it changed.  So many of the places we were at 50 years ago have either grown immensely or have closed up.  What a change. We headed up in the Big Horn Mountains, it was 90 in Cody Wy., before we headed up, on top of the mountain it was 69
we had our lunch there. Coming down the mountain the temps went up to 96, it was that when we got into Sheridan, Wy.  so opted for a Motel and order supper in. Nothing like being lazy, but it is our vacation you know.
We went through The Yellowstone yesterday, my has that changed, it is so much bigger at the lodge area and the crowds of people were unbelievable. Did get to see Ole Faithful go off, that was cool.
There were only a few rows of benches when we were here 50 years ago, now there are rows and rows of benches. Almost over-whelming.
We plan to get to the Black Hills tomorrow. 
Kathy, just wanted to let you know we did see a Moose cow just north of Soldnota with twin calves when we left there that morning. let Mike know, he was trying his best to find one for me, even took that picture of the one near his tent.  
We hope to get home Tuesday, have had a great vacation, but getting ready for home. Love to all.
