Up but not away
Well, as mentioned earlier, we went to the gunfight and guess what....the good guys won again, Pretty head to beat Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and Buffalo Bill. We had also intended to watch the hot air balloons but the weather stopped that idea. We have found the afternoons in Montana and Wyoming bring very sudden weather changes. In 15 minutes it will go from sunny and warm to very high winds a drop in tempature and hard rain. This is what happened again Fri night. Saturday moring at 6:00 we up and out to the field in an effort to watch the moring launch of the balloons......they get one inflated but the wind came up and the balloon came down. We are now in Ten Sleep Wy. named by the natives way back. They used to determine days travelled by the number of "sleeps" while on their migrations. This was ten sleeps. There were a large number of Harley's here last night as we are not too far from Sturgis SD. They are expecting between 500,000 and 750,000 people there this coming week....most on bikes. A good place NOT to be. Several of the riders were coming Back from there, havin just passed through. The campgrounds are charging by the person at each tent site at a rate of over $100.00 for 1 up to 4 nights and that rate increased the closer the rally date approached. Today we head off to Gillette Wy.
