It took us 8 hours to get here today but the scenery was continously changing and the views were beyond description. We finally gave up looking for a "Burger Biggie" for lunch so we pulled the camper off the shoulder of the road and fixed lunch. While driving through Wyoming it is wise to stop at 1/2 tank if possible and buy gas. Didn't see a Wal Mart ALL day. We are staying at http://www.thelonghornranch.com/. The campground is beautiful, and our camper is parked on the banks of the Wind River surrounded by mountains and Cottonwood trees. The Long Horn Ranch is in the town of Dubois - http://www.duboiswyoming.org/ We enjoyed dinner in town at the Cowboy Cafe. They sponsored a varied menu and the food was delicious. Lots of homemade desserts, so we do intend to return. The town of Dubois is almost 7,000 feet high and has a population of 962. The downtown area is the perfect little western town complete with all the western flair. I noticed that there were quite a few locals eating along with us at the Cowboy Cafe and pointed out to Billy that it was blatantly obvious that anybody in town wearing flip flops was a tourist. Maggie went swimming in the Wind River, had a bath and then went to sleep. I am right behind her and will catch up with the rest of the blog tomorrow. "Life is Good Today."
