Day 7 (500 miles)

Today we left Colorado and headed to Wyoming. We actually got up early and we left the campground by 8. On our way out of the campground Ashley had to use the restroom, and when we were waiting we saw 3 dear cross the road right in front of us.

We stopped in Estes Park at a rock shop and the kids got some souvenirs. Then we stopped to fill up the propane tank. We only used 1 gallon of propane (the tank holds 4.5) for the first 6 days. We left Estes at 9. The GPS on my computer said we would not get to the Tetons until 6 PM. I thought we would get there earlier but it was right on.

Here is a picture of the Big Thompson River on our way out of Estes Park.

 

 

 

 

Most of the trip was uneventful and kind of boring. There isn’t much to look at in Wyoming. Until we got close to the Tetons. Here is a picture with some amazing colors.

 

 

Finally at our campsite I am starting the refrigerator and Ashley is lowering on of the jacks on the camper.

 

 

 

One bad thing about driving through Wyoming is there is no place to stop. The rest areas are at least 100 miles apart and gas stations aren’t any closer. We ended up stopping at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, and it was a little scary.
