2011 Summer Adventure Day 10

Today it's off to Cheyenne, WY - an eight (8) hour trek.  We begin our return to reality now.  It had to end some time.  Won't be many exciting pictures today but we'll do our best.

We begin our journey just as we begun when entering Yellowstone - with a shot of a bison (don't think this is Byron though)  Good-bye Byron.
Our goal is to get to Cheyenne and do some wash (well it's someone's goal).  So we head on down the highway...
Wyoming is the place to be.  It has got to be the most scenic state in the country....at least top 3.


We took some breaks...
and drove some more...
You know who did you know what....

The drive gave us time to reflect on some interesting things about Wyoming.  Things you'll never see in Mt. Laurel - "Bear Spray Sold Here!" and "Do not climb the tunnels".  And this beautiful town...
....have an idea as to who might live there.

You can also set the cruise control on 80 mph and not worry about anything...

As we approach the city of Cheyenne, it appears a storm is about ready to pounce...

but it never happens.

We roll into our Country Inn and Suites at 7:00pm.  We are all pretty hungry by this point so we ask the hotel clerk to suggest a place to eat.  She suggests Sanford's Pub and Grub.  It's modeled after the old TV show Sanford and Son.  So reluctantly we went....'when in Rome' they say.  Boy was it the best meal of our journey thus far.  Even better than any of the two DDD sites we visited...


The girls had a good time...

Sarah must have had ham for dinner.

Sean ordered the biggest, greasiest, fat-busting burger on the menu...as usual

Even Elvis had a good time...
Thank you...Thank you very much.

We also met four (4) players from the Cheyenne Grizzlies.  We know - 'who are the Cheyenne Grizzlies?'  Well they are only the Champions of the MCBL (Mountain Collegiate Baseball League).  Tommy Cunningham, who attends St. Joseph's University in PA overheard us talking about home being in NJ and that's how we met them....Here they are...

Well it's off to the hotel to do some wash and get some rest.  We're off to see the biggest ball of twine tomorrow....How exciting!
