Tues. Aug. 4
Spent another night at Wal mart in Laramie. There were 14 Rvs last night.
This morning we went into Wal mart and bought curtains, curtain rods and a comforter for our bedroom. We took down the ugly cornices around the windows, the day night shades and the headboard. We both love the new look.
About 8:30 we went downtown to a small bar called The Buckhorn Bar. The guys we heard Saturday night were playing. Laramie is a college town so the place was packed with children. LOL There were only 2 small tables and the owner placed one right in front of the dance floor for us. He said “the band says you’re friends of theirs so sit here”. About midnight ( that is 1 a.m. at home) I dozed off! Gino’s manager, gal in her early 40s caught me napping. I was so embarrassed!!


Wed. Aug 5
Left Laramie and drove to Rock Springs, WY where we stopped for diesel. We had a terrible scare. At the gas station I saw a copper pipe hanging under the RV. Bud looked under and saw it was attached to the propane tank! We drove 1 block to a Truck repair shop. The repairman crawled under with Bud but neither of them could figure out where the pipe went. We did figure out that we weren’t losing propane and the refrig was still running. We left there and drove to an RV shop but they wouldn’t even look at it since it involved propane. Bud said it had to be an overflow vent. I called a Camping World store and Bud & a repairman decided that it was the overflow. Bud crawled under and fastened it to the bottom of the RV. It is just by God’s grace that we were safe. The pipe had been dragging and probably sparking.
Trip over was really pretty with lots of different rock formations. Saw antelope everywhere you looked. And snow fences! I have never seen so many in so many places. Again I took lots of pictures. Just can’t get online long enough to download them.
We hadn’t planned to stay all night in town but after that ordeal we called it quits and parked at Wal Mart. There were 14 or 15 parked there for the night.
Thurs. Aug. 6
Day started out rotten. We walked over to IHOP for breakfast. Bud had 3 eggs, toast and coffee. I had 2 eggs, toast and water. Our bill was $13.89 !!
Took State Hwy.30 to Idaho. It was a really nice road with great views. Got to Sage, Idaho and thought we’d spend a night or two. They had so many interesting things to see in town and in the area. They have geyser that shoots water 100’ high! I think it is much nicer then Old Faithful ( I have pictures) Stopped at city hall to locate campgrounds. They sent us to 2 and we found 2 more. They were 1 or 2 spots in trashy trailer parks!! Nasty. No way were we parking there. So down the road we went hunting a place. Came to a tiny little town with hot lava springs. Found 2 parks there. One was run down grassy spots for $41 a night and our RV couldn’t get in the park. The other one wasn’t too much better and it was $49 a night. So down the road some more. Ended up paying $23.80. Bud says it’s ok to pay the $23 because we need electric heaters on tonight. It is 9 p.m. 58 degrees and winds are extremely high with gusts of 55 miles per hour according to the radio.
