This post is
going to be mainly pictures. I took over
200 today so it was a little hard to cut it down to the ones I decided to
post. We saw some absolutely amazing
scenery today. We stopped in Buffalo and
had breakfast at the Busy Bee Café before we headed out. Our first destination was Crazy Woman Canyon,
Greg was nice and didn’t make the obvious comment that it was named after me.
Some nice sights
on our way to the canyon.
Crazy Woman
Canyon made us glad we had a Jeep. I
guess the average family sedan might make it but it would take a beating. Some of the gravel road was narrower and
rougher than when we went off roading in the Arizona desert. People are always asking us what our favorite
place has been in all of our travels.
That’s hard to answer since we have seen so many wonderful places. This one today is definitely going to be at
the top of my list for a long time.
After coming
out of Crazy Woman Canyon we took Hwy 16 into a town called Ten Sleeps. We wanted to check out this road because this
is the way we will be taking the motor coach to our next stop, Cody, WY. I have to admit I am going to be nervous,
lots of long high inclines and contrasting steep inclines. Greg seems to think it will be fine and we
did see a lot of other RVs coming and going on the road today, mountains just
get to me although I love seeing the scenery.
This is
Powder River Pass 9666 feet above sea level, it is the highest point on Hwy. 16
in the Bighorn National Forest.
We stopped
at the Ten Sleeps museum and took advantage of one of their picnic tables for
lunch. The museum was closed for lunch
while we were there and we didn’t stick around to see inside.
Hollyhocks seem to be the flower of choice in Ten Sleeps.
We went for
ice cream instead. I got brave and had
huckleberry which seems to be a western thing.
It was really good, maybe a cross between blueberry and black berry.
Heading back
home we decided to go where the pavement ended.
The sheep
liked the road too.
At least the
cattle kept to the side of the road
Looks like
it is good we are getting near home.
Still some
snow on the mountain tops as we get closer to Buffalo.
