Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming
July 12 - July 19, 2008
- Got up and ate the "continental breakfast" at the Showboat Motel. It was the kind of breakfast setup that would most likely house families of cockroaches. We ended up leaving Casper around 9:30.
- Drove south through the Shirley Mountains and stopped in Hanna, WY to check out a museum. We ate lunch at Hanna's Wild Wonder Cafè. Both of us had the Janet chicken sandwich. The museum was actually closed so we headed south toward Medicine Bow National Forest.
- We stopped in Saratoga, a nice little western town. We bought a few things at a couple gift shops and walked around the town a bit. On the way out of town, we stopped at the NFS office for camping ideas. We were told to head south to Encampment, WY.
- We passed through the suggested campground and went farther into the Sierra Madre Mountains. There was a very secluded campground that we found called Lost Creek, where we set up camp.
Elevation here is 9,ooo feet. There was snow on the side of the roads. There was lots of firewood in the campground due to a beetle infestation (the forest service had to cut them down).
- BOD: Grand Teton IPA (Jackson Hole) and New Belgium Brewing Co Abbey Ale (Ft Collins), PBR
- Mileage: 1488 total/238 today.
