My three days at state fair were as expected: hot, dusty, full of fun and fueled by fair food. Nothing better than BBQ brisket, although I can do without curly fries or ice cream dots. Scenes from the Fair: At the Wyoming Author’s booth I enjoyed meeting people and talking about my book.I did great;…
I know this is home: I recognize the furniture and fixutres.Yet, it seems oddly foreign after a month + in Half Moon. When I started the laundry, I looked for the coin slots–nothing. And those odd toilets bolted to the floor. And all those kitchen cupboards, and soooo much room. This morning I looked for my…
My last morning in Ten Sleep,and I removed from Half Moon all the perishable stuff, laundry, bedding, and anything else that needed washing. I piled it all in the van and drove the 300-ish miles home! The drive up Ten Sleep Canyon and over Powder River pass is stunning. If you are ever in the…
I paid for two more nights and will stay here until tomorrow morning. The music crowd left Sunday and all is quiet. I found another little paradise, this one closer to home. In fact, Wheatland is only 285 miles across the Big Horns and down I-25. I expect to be back in tiny Ten Sleep…

After an early supper I headed up the street to the music festival. The bands each play several times over the weekend,so I have plenty of time to do other stuff. Photos from last evening: Sending these to Pfizer, maybe they can use in their commercials:
I have not stayed at many RV parks, so I don’t know if this is unusual. Instead of lining up rigs side-by-side, they are in a row, front-to-back. I find this to set up feels less cramped, less invasive. My van and most other tow vehicles are parked a few yards away. Half Moon is…
Tango and I have been on the road two days. I changed my mind about Idaho because of all the fires. So, last night we pulled over in Bozeman, MT–a beautiful small city. Today, after lots of back roads, including through Cody, WY, we ended up in Ten Sleep, WY in the western foothills of…
I read that the Broncos play Seattle Seahawks this coming Thursday, and the only thing that I like as much as camping is football. However, the antenna wire for my satellite radio is broken.Well, that settles it: time to wander off again. I figure I will drive the 50 miles to Missoula and stop at…
I have said before that I have a wild life jinx. When I am looking for interesting critters, everything takes off, or a rare species dives into the thick brush, or a purple-eyed peeper flies off just as I come around the corner. I experience the same jinx here. In an area with abundant wildlife,…
