Vedauwoo part 2!

The rain subsided yesterday, so I was able to take my parents out to Vedauwoo. They wanted to go and being the wonderful son that I am I drove them out there. Our past trip to Vedauwoo was not all that exciting, so I was hoping they wouldn’t be all that disappointed. It’s [...]

Gunslinger!

I suppose this will do nothing to deter the myth that in Wyoming and Montana people still ride in carriages and ride horses to work, but I’m posting it anyways!! Throughout the summer Cheyenne has a gunslingers event that is put on for the locals and non-locals. This picture was from last Saturday [...]

Takeoff!

Takeoff!
We made it back successfully from Saratoga. I’ll put up a bit more later this week. For now it’s my hopefully weekly photo. This was caught on our way back from Saratoga. Almost gave my wife a heart attack, but this photo was worth it. So were the hot springs. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving..a day late!

I had intentions of coming to the library on Wednesday to type out a quick Happy Thanksgiving post, but due to a client at work (stayed 40 minutes passed when I should have gone home) and the library closing a bit early it was missed. So those in the US of A…Happy Thanksgiving a day [...]

Neck tattoo’s and other crap!

When we first arrived in Cheyenne, we were eating junk food (aka: fast food). The first place that we visited was a McDonalds.  The cashier that gave us our meal had a neck tattoo.  Not one of those on the back of the neck but one of those that’s on the side and either hurt [...]

Day 14 & 15: Friendly

Since we have been back west (all of 1 week and 1 day!) we have noticed how friendly people are out here.  By this I mean when your grocery shopping and you need to get around people and you say “excuse me” they say “oh sorry” or something like that.  I could go on with [...]

Day 13: Estes Park

Yesterday morning the wind finally calmed down. By calmed down I mean that it went from 50 mph gusts to a constant 10-20 mph wind. This is Wyoming I guess!
So after a breakfast in Mildreds (the motel diner) we headed south into Colorado. We are only 7 miles from the Colorado border. [...]

Day 10: More looking

I’m a bit late in posting this.  Yesterday we went and looked at yet more houses.  However unlike the other days where nothing was really what we were looking for we found one that we liked and put in an offer on it.  We should know later today if they will accept our offer or [...]

Day 9: Making Due

So we are in this apartment that is attached to a motel. It has a living room, dining room, a bedroom and a kitchen.  It’s a bit “oldish”.  By “oldish” I mean that the walls are this pukey color green and it smells old.  When we arrived we checked the kitchen to see what was [...]

Day 8: House Hunting

Today we got out and did some exploring of Cheyenne.  On the list was finding the super Wal-Mart.  We found it and did some generic shopping.  The prices were MUCH better than Safeway that we went to yesterday.  So we breathed a sigh of relief on that front.   Oh yeah…if you’ve been to one Wal-Mart [...]
