It is a little spooky to see the gates for closing interstates and major roads, but then I guess when winter comes they really don’t want you out here. Today we passed a “chains installation” area just as we started up one of the passes. Good thing it was sunny today.

Fort Laramie National Mon. – Very well done with great interpretive signs. All the early trails came through here, Oregon, Mormon, California and the other one that I already forget. Fun stop. Later stopped at the Oregon Trail ruts. Amazing how they are worn so deep in solid rock. Saw signature cliff too.

Guernsey State Park
Reservoir drained 20+ft for winter. Black Canyon Point provided a beautiful setting for the night. So quiet and so very dark! Road in and out challenging with motorhome. Kent rode the bicycle to register after locating site…maybe not such a great idea. It was approx 3 miles each way with some hills the old legs were not interested in pulling so some pushing of the bike was required. Gone too long, Lynn started to worry and wonder how to get the Miata out (we were backed into the site) to go search. Lots of wild turkeys and what looked like a bobcat as we were leaving camp.
