We packed up, hooked up, and left Cheyenne and headed to Casper this morning. On the way, we left the interstate and went to Register Cliff National Historical Site. It is a cliff where travelers on the Oregon Trail carved their names and dates in the cliff. There is now a chainlink fence protecting it since a lot of modern day people have added their names and dates. Go figure. Then we went from there a few miles down the road to the Oregon Trail Wagon Ruts Historical Site. You can see the ruts worn through the stone surface and even the path from the people who walked. It was really neat. Then we went to Ft. Laramie, which is owned by the National Park system. We watched a video and walked around looking at the restored buildings and ruins. Photos will be posted. After that, we headed to Casper and got to the campground around 4:30, set up, ate Kraft Mac and Cheese and half a leftover sub from yesterday and called it a gourmet meal! We were just too tired to go out to eat. We enjoyed the scenery on the way and saw quite a few pronghorn antelope. What photos I do not post here, I will post on FB. We will be here three nights and then head to Custer State Park for four nights.
