fish-eyed stare and said, 'Nope.” Okay, after a bit of a rethink later we are now heading north via Laramie, Wyoming, which is a two hour drive away. We've had to give up on a second Rocky Mountain experience as by the time we back tracked down to Denver and up again it would be dark and too late to go into the Park anyway. So Wyoming, here we come – let's hope we ...

We ended up staying the night in Laramie, Wyoming at a hotel instead of camping. This was very last minute and happened because of how confusing / frustrating / ****** the roads of Wyoming are. After getting alot of needed sleep, we toured the University of Wyoming. After about 20 minutes of walking around, we decided we had seen enough. The only thing worth seeing there was a student either going to or from class on a four wheeler and doing a wheelie to impress us. Only in Wyoming...

... rainy and overcast but we still had to check out Strawberry Park Hot Springs which we had heard about from several people we had met during out trip. The springs were very nice but would have been even better following a long cold winter day of skiing.

We then drove back to the cabin in Switzerland Park near Nederland, Colorado to attend the annual camp picnic. We had a nice time eating great food and hanging out with neighbors from the park.

... a pub/grill with various sports memorabilia on the wall and locations in a few towns in the area. The next morning we headed out to our Monday destination: Laramie. Home to the University of Wyoming (the state's only 4-year higher ed institution), Laramie is a town of about 28,000 people, with several little shops and restaurants and a distinctive college-town feel. We spent part of the afternoon walking around the rather historic downtown area, grabbing lunch at a ...

... to last us through the night. I made the ultimate sacrifice and had ice cream!!! Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream…he’d be so proud!!!

In the morning, we made record time pulling out…off to the Post Office to mail those “excess” items we’d mentioned, and WalMart, so CO could return some of the things we didin’t use…like condoms!!!! Seriously, we were really ready to ...

... 1 - the proprietor of this shop - no joke) Trading Post. Greg should have known better for he was cut down when the mother-animal was already in full shopping stride.

In the final picture of this entry, you can see the unrepentant joy on the face of this wild beast and the carnage under foot.

Revival of Gregory is still in process...

It is now the day before my departure to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Last year at this time, I was in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India, with brother Larry. This year I am just moving further east in southern Asia. Indians have had extensive influence on the settlement of the rest of southeast Asia mingling with Chinese, Burmese, Tibetan, Khmer, Hmong and others. I am ...

Trying out the Travel Blog: I leave this coming Friday, flying out of Brees Field at 7 AM to Denver via Great Lakes Aviation, also known as the Vomit Comet. At least it only takes a few minutes to get through security at our tiny airport. nothing exciting ...

... There we were brushing our teeth in a gas station parking lot surrounded by stretch limos and 10 million people who looked at the jumpers on top of my car with silent dismay....however possible it is to stand out in Vegas. We took turns driving, sleeping, and filling up the gas tank. We arrived in Bakersfield sometime in the middle of the night and woke up Sunday morning in the host hotel parking lot. We were met by TC Baker from Purdue...we would hang out with the Purdue guys ...
