Green River, WY

For those of you paying attention, Green River is the town in Wyoming where we had our flat tire during the first week of our trip.  However, this time, we're on the last legs of our trip and Green River was a convenient spot to stop.  

This morning we started out from Buckley and headed north (eventually we got to I-25, but it was an adventure - saw more of north Denver than we wanted to).  Stopped at Costco way north of Denver and took advantage of their good gas prices.  Drove to Loveland and had breakfast with Connor (twin son of Ken and Melanie).  He graduated from NDSU and is working in the Fort Collins/Denver area.  Actually, today was his first anniversary of being in the area.  Fun conversation and then we admired his new red RAM four-door pick-up.  Awesome vehicle, I don't think he missed many bells and whistles.

Paul suggested that we take a shortcut just north of Fort Collins which would take us to Laramie on I-80.  Pretty countryside and always had a view of the Rockies to the west.  This eliminated our going to Cheyenne and saved a few miles. Once we got I-80, it was just pedal to the metal and head west.  Made a few stops to stretch and eat.  At one of the rest stops, we made reservations at The Travel Camp in Green River.  Good campsite with nice sites and even has cable TV.

Tomorrow we head over to Wendover - may stay at the casino.  Looking forward to that being the penultimate leg of our trip and being home on Monday evening.  Yeaaaaa!!!
