Home tomorrow if all goes as planned!

We are now in Big Horn Mountain KOA in Sheridan, Wyoming. What a long drive it was from Limon, Colorado and then across the high plains of Wyoming. We were lucky to have moderate winds across the plains! There were some gusty areas that got up to around 45 mph. Fortunately there was no snow at all blowing around. Alot of the white stuff on the fields and the mountains though. Wayne just kept telling me to think of the sand at Henderson Beach, FL and pretend that's what we were looking at! HA! HA! HA!
We were glad to have our quadding boots though as we had to wear them at this campground. There is alot of snow and ice around the trailer and truck.
The only mishap was having our outside stairs of the 5th wheel blown open part way while travelling. Tomorrow we are going to see if we can make a 'run for home' as our 'window of good weather' is starting to close.

We're getting there!

Well, we are now in Limon,CO outside of Denver. It has been a long drive today from Big Spring, Texas. However, we both have decided that it's best to keep driving as long as the weather is holding. There are rumors of snow in Alberta, something we are not looking forward to!!! Here we come in our shorts and crocs....lol.....luckily Wayne had enough foresite to suggest we bring winter jackets with us. If all else fails, we do have our quadding rubber boots that are good to -40c!
Tomorrow we are heading to Buffalo, WY and then Tuesday we will be going to Great Falls, MT.
That will hopefully put us home sometime on Wednesday afternoon. I'm sure we will be suffering from climate and altitude change for a few days. I'm cold already and it's still in the 50's (F) here.....lol....
We look forward to seeing everybody soon.
