Sunday, April 12, 2009I did get to see some of the statues and scuptures in Loveland. Here are a few of them.
We’re here! For the next week and a half we’ll be here at Yellowstone RV in Gardiner, MT. We don’t have to report for work until Friday, the 17th, but we’re glad to be here early since some really cold and probably wet weather is expected here by Tuesday. Besides, we can see the Yellowstone arch from just down the road – we’re that close!
After two nights at Johnson’s Corner we drove on up to Casper, WY – with a short detour in Cheyenne to Sierra Outdoors, where we bought a few things for cold weather (gloves and long underwear and another pair of Yak Trax).
As soon as we got into Wyoming, we saw more and more snow beside the road. I love driving through eaastern Wyoming. It’s totally open, and the top of each long hill reveals a whole new view of mountains beyond bare, rolling hills. This time of year the mountains were white, and the hills had patches of snow where it had drifted deepest during the winter. Luckily the day was mostly clear and there was no snow in the roads.

At Casper we planned to stay at the WalMart/Sam’s Club parking lot. I was gathering our cans, etc. to recycle when I looked out the window and saw Lou, one of the men I worked with at Madison last year! Amazingly, he and his wife, Jody, and two other couples we worked with last year were parked in their RVs behind Sam’s. He had run into Lenny in Sam’s. We moved our RV near theirs, and we traveled with them the rest of the way here.
This afternoon Lenny and I walked into town, across the Yellowstone River, and back down the river to take some pictures of our RVs from across the river. By the time we got back, I had about 17,000 steps on my pedometer, compared to 3,000 yesterday.
