Memories for Mom

I've been behind on my posts lately so I'll catch up with this one.  We were trying to get out of the hot weather and finally made it.  Yay!  It's now Thursday am.  Sunday we stayed at Cedar Bluff State Park in Kansas (pictures in previous post).  Monday night we were in Enders State Recreational Area, Nebraska, Tuesday night at Guernsey State Park, Wyoming and last night at Tongue River Reservoir State Park in Decker, Montana.  This was a busy week but we made it to cooler weather.  Yesterday it was 105, ambient, driving through Scott's Bluff, Wyoming and we woke up to 52 degrees, nice indeed.  It was probably a little cooler during the night as I didn't get up until 6 am and the sun was already climbing.

As usual, we are easily lured by a sign with an ice-cream cone displayed :)  We were not disappointed!

These are for you Mom :)

In 1998 we were here with Wendy's parents.  We had endured a long travel day and got there 30 minutes or so before it closed for the day.  It was very hot and the visitor center said we could not walk out to Chimney Rock.  We would have had to take a donkey ride there, which was about 1/4 mile away for way too much money and the donkeys would have to suffer in the heat.  Boo!  We hopped back into the car, drove by the rock and took pictures.  Although the adventure was a bust, we recalled it with fond memories over the years.  The visitor center is closed now for renovations and the rock appears unchanged.  The temp was again hot, 22 years later, and thankfully there were no donkeys on duty.

Here are a couple pictures of Guernsey State Park in Wyoming.  Plenty of deer and turkeys here.
