August 3, 2010

On August 3rd we headed for Rock Springs, Wyoming where we planned to stay the night.  We would travel about 260 miles for the day.


There were lots of windmills along I-80 on our way to our next destination.  The weather was hot and dry most of our trip.

The Lincoln Memorial.  Okay, not the one in Washington, D.C.

It was just kinda weird seeing it out there along the highway.  Want to know more about it?  Check out this link:  http://www.yellowecho.com/travel/lincoln_memorial_highway.htm

Miles did all the driving throughout the trip and he did a great job keeping us on the road with all the high winds along the way.  Isn't he cute?

It wasn't all flat going across Wyoming.  This picture was taken along I-80 and before entering the Routt National Forest where we camped for a week during our vacation back in 2008.

We arrived at the Rock Springs KOA mid-afternoon.  It was a very nice, very clean campground.  The only drawback was it was all rocks and dirt.

The Russian Sage was beautiful and in full bloom.

The Weather Rock.  It should have been moving a lot while we were here as it was windy.  Maybe the rock was too heavy.

Maybe these were some the first RVs to travel across our beautiful country.

There was a nice doggie park that Alder and Lola had fun in.  There was also a dirt road beside the park that led up to the hills in the background and we ran up there a couple times before leaving on the 4th.

The sign says it all.

This gentleman had it all; a cute pop-up for his motorcycle.

The Monster in Rock Springs.  Check out all those rocks; must be how the town gots its name. 

Can you find "The Monster" in the park?

Thus ended our second day on the road.
