Oct 19–Day 5--Through Wyoming

We stayed at a nice campground in Buffalo, WY last night.  Ted found an old Farmall tractor that they were using as a flower display.  I'm sure it was prettier before the flowers froze! :-)
Right beside the tent area of the campground was a peaceful little river.
That is pretty much the end of "pretty" scenery, although the drive from Buffalo to Casper was very interesting.  The first part of the drive was broken, rugged, sagebrush country.  We saw at least 2 flocks of sheep grazing, and about a bajillion antelope.  We came over some very high hills on this road.  They didn't seem like mountains, just very high hills.  Here is a screenshot from my altimeter app when we topped the highest hill.


The closer we got to Casper, the less rugged the countryside became. 





Scattered infrequently along the road, we saw oil well pumpers.
After we left Casper, heading for Douglas, WY, we came by this coal electric generating plant.  (Ignore the bug smears on the windshield) :-)


And thus ends another day!  This is so much fun!
