Douglas, WY

May 23, 2012

Left Guernsey State Park in the rain, but the Laramie Mountains were still impressive in the west.

Two of our travelers experienced coach battery problems while dry camping for the first time last night, so we only drove as far as Douglas to get them checked. Nan needed new batteries, and Mitch got hers tested...and was deemed ok. So we had to take a picture of the "Widder Douglas" in Douglas, Wyoming. We camped here in their city park overnight.

This elk is made out of barbed wire. Guess nobody will be tempted to sit on it.

Down by the riverside the goslings are growing fast.

This is the Yellowstone Bridge.

And the reason it was built.

On the other side is a nice paved hiking/biking trail along the Platte River. Abby is running to catch up with Mitch.

Sometimes Abby rode in her stroller, but mostly she enjoyed running alongside.

There are huge Cottonwood trees along the river banks.

Birdie posed in one of them.

Interesting patterns in the bark.

Wild roses growing along the river.

Abby peeks out of the stroller.

Belle was thirsty.

Abby on the run again.

It was very windy in the afternoon and thunderstorms predicted overnight. Supposed to be colder tomorrow and maybe more rain, but not as windy.
