Road Trip March - Day 16

March 28th 2026 (Saturday) 

This morning was a lazy one, I'm still feeling super crappy, the meds I'm on don't seem to be helping all that much and getting moving is hard. So a slow start, showered and other odd jobs and Fred and I discussed our plans for what we're going to do after Sunday's excitement, where we're going to go next.

Then it was time to get out and about, todays journey was to drive and checkout Medicine Bow, another planned stop for Big Boy tomorrow. Again this is a recky to get the lay of the land, parking potentials etc ready for tomorrow morning's excitement.  We chose a more less direct route to travel and was rewarded with some stunning rock formations on the journey, if we had had more time we would have loved to have explored these more.

Cool rocks found on our drive

Amazing stacked rocks seen on our drive

Whilst on our travel adventures today we stopped at a lake for afternoon tea, this was one of Fred's off grid camping spots that he had found, complete with toilet (hole in the ground, but serviceable when needs must). Had we needed it, it would have been a good one to stay at but we were already booked into the campsite in Cheyanne.

On the drive back to Cheyanne we decided to stop the night at Laramie, why go all the way back to Cheyanne just to sleep, we'd only have to do the hour drive again in the morning. So we decided to stay in Laramie for the night. We managed to find a quite, out of the way parking spot right next to the railway.... what we hadn't anticipated was the volume of trains that went through, thoughout the night!!!  They were long, they were loud and pretty much on the hour at least - so not the best nights sleep for either of us, but to be honest we were somewhat excited for tomorrow to sleep!

Road Trip Day 16 - we've driven approximately 170 Miles today!
