Wyoming

Shortly after we left Keystone, SD we crossed into another new state for Aaron and the kids, Wyoming. Talk about being "1,000 miles from nowhere"! We literally drove a span of 80 miles that had nothing along the road but a single picnic bench and trashcan! We saw signs for ranches that were 25 miles from the main road.....can you imagine and hour long round trip drive, just to get your mail? And 4G cell service, forget about it! Still its beautiful countryside and it must take very hardy and unique individuals to call it home. We enjoyed a story by Louis L'amour and some old campfire songs. Isaiah now knows most of the words to 'Riders in the Sky'.

Wide open spaces!

After 80 miles of open plains we came to this little town....in fact, this picture is taken from the single gas station and just about shows all of town. You better fuel up because its another quiet 40 miles on the other side of town before you reach more civilization.

Aaron and I are extremely grateful for our good travelers. In all our hours on the road we had no major meltdowns and most of the time we didn't even have to fall back on screen time to keep them entertained. Here Rebecca was busy with a latch hook project.

Southern Wyoming brought the Rocky Mountains into view....
