Sheridan to Wapiti June 19, 2010

Another beautiful day. As you look at the photos on the blog I hope you can appreciate the wonderful weather we've enjoyed. The morning temps may be in the 40s or 50s and then warmer, to the 70s and 80s during the daytimes. Since we crossed the Missouri River it's been like that, even though that one storm hit in Rapid City that was after we had had our full day. Today's drive was relatively short, less than 200 miles. if you google the drive though you'll see a squiggly line between Ranchester, WY and Greybull WY. That's right, it was up one side and down the other of the Big Horn Mountains. The highest peak is over 13,000 feet and the pass we went through was over 9,000 feet. On the way down we pulled over at a turnout and let the brakes on the RV cool down. Ernie had to get down to 1st gear and Donna to 2nd gear to ease the load on the brakes. Here we are celebrating the trip down. On the way up to the pass we saw three moose, or is that meese? here's one.
