Hampton Inn Gillette Wy

Today was a day of touring and seeing lots along the way. At Cactus Flats, SD we entered the area known as the Badlands. Mountain formations were awesome and each took on a different look around each bend as the light hit the face of the mountains. We saw prairie dogs as tame as could be. Leaving there we headed for Wall ...

... une colline pour échapper à un ours, mais celui-ci étant si grand, la colline aurait alors grandi, grandi, jusqu'à mettre les p'tites indiennes hors de portée de l'ours, qui auraient laissé de grandes marques verticales sur la "colline" avec ses griffes...<br>Fin de journée sur la route sous un ciel immense, rempli d'éclairs menacants mais magnifiques.<br><br>

Starting back.......Traveled thru the Bighorns on our way to Gillette. They were incredible. Had to stop for a herd of cattle that cowboys were rounding up and driving them on horseback to the transport trucks. Just had to stop and wait patiently. They still have to ride and find the cattle the on horseback.......the same way they did it 100 years ago.

... great laughs before going out to meet the rest of the reunion group so another social. I took it a lot easier the second night and was actually able to have some really great chats with people I have known for years. I was then up early to get out of town. Because this is the "whistle-stop tour of the high plains" (rightly named by my grandma), I don't have much time to spend in one place. So it is back south to Cheyenne, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs.
