Okay, so it's fake...Jim woke me up at 6:00am! He thought it was 7:00am, but looked at the clock in the ‘ bedroom’ (if you can call it a room) and he’d forgotten to change it to Mountain Time. Thus, we got an early start on our run for the border….Canada, that is.
Norman found a new friend before we left LovelandWe crossed almost all the way through Wyoming today, Sheridan is near the Montana border..Most of the day Jim fought the wind, especially in areas where the hills and mountains separate and the wind can funnel through across the highway. Tail winds are MUCH better.
Today’s drive was, um…boring. Yeah, that’s the correct word. We’re out in the plains, where only cattle and antelope seem to live. Every now and then we saw a house out in the middle of a prairie, with nothing around for many miles and wonder how people can live in such isolation. Growing up in such a populated and tiny place as Rhode Island it amazes us.Then again, I’m sure they could never be happy with our lifestyle either.
Thankfully, we arrived in Casper just a little past noontime and we were deliriously happy to find a Sam’s Club! All the people we met at Sam's were so nice. I was able to buy my blueberries and salmon, and stock up on the big Dunkin donuts coffee, which I doubt we’ll be able to find while we are in Canada. We also had perhaps the cheapest lunch in the country - the Sam's Club Hot Dog Combo. An extra long Nathan's hot dog and GIANT drink for $1.70! Now how ya gonna beat that?
We arrived in Sheridan about 4:30 and we were very glad to come to a stop. It was a long day. Our dinner consisted of a can of tomato soup for me and peanut butter on saltines for Jim...gourmet NOT!
Tomorrow we'll cross into Montana on our way to Glacier National Park. We haven't been there since 1991. Long ride tomorrow again...Montana is a BIG state.
