8/17 to 8/19
It is cloudy as we leave this morning and a few sprinkles on the windshield. It never did actually rain. This stretch of highway, about 300 miles, is really boring. Every mile looks like the last. We arrived in Cheyenne at about 3 pm. We are staying at the Greenway Trailer and RV Campground. This is on the east side of Cheyenne and close to Walmart and a shopping mall. We went to the Visitors Center to find out what there might be to do or see here. There really isn’t much other than museums which don’t interest us much anymore. We have decided to cut back on our slat intake so we shopped for food that ar net high in salt. Everything good is either high in salt, sugar or fat. Sooo MODERATION is the key. Close to the mall was a nice park that had a walking/bike trail that went way beyond the park. It was a great place to walk. We also walked around the mall looking for summer clothes bargains but didn’t find much. Basically we didn’t do much in Cheyenne. Cheyenne has a number of Cowboy Boot Statues around their city. These are a fund raiser for the city as were the buffalo we saw in Great Falls and the horses in Billings. It is our understanding several cities are doing this. The city furnishes the statue and citizens paint the statue and give it an appropiate name. Then at a later date they are auctioned off to the highest bidder.
