Nebraska Trip 2017 - Day 3

We left Fort Bridger a little before 9:00 am and continued east on I-80 across Wyoming. The skies were clear and the winds were light.  This part of Wyoming is high plains/desert well over 6,000 ft in elevation and in some parts over 7,000 ft.  There is not much out here, not even a lot of cows.  We stopped at Little America, an outpost about an hour east of Fort Bridger for gas and coffee.  The gas was cheap but their coffee machine was broken.  The only coffee for 50 miles in any direction - go figure.

All-in-all, it was a pretty boring drive today.  We stopped for lunch in the RV at a truck stop near Rawlins, WY.  The wind picked up after lunch and switched from the NW to the SE.  It wasn't too bad, but it was a "two-hands-on-wheel" drive the rest of the way.   Just east of Laramie, WY, about 50  miles west of Cheyenne there was a steep climb over an 8,600 ft summit then a gradual downhill into Cheyenne.

We are staying tonight at the F.E. Warren AFB FAMCAMP.  It is an RV park on base for military personnel and veterans.  It is a nice park, nothing fancy, but certainly adequate for an overnight stop with full hook-ups and a nominal fee.  

There also resident antelopes here, grazing nearby and apparently not worried about predators.

We go on to North Platte, NE tomorrow then Lincoln, NE on Tuesday.  All is well so far.
