Wyoming, Casper July 12 - 15

We decided to explore parts of Wyoming this summer that we haven't spent a lot of time in during past visits.  since Dan and Kathy were not going to be in Douglas this year we put Casper on our list.  We stayed at Casper East Campground.

River park in Casper.  Just checking out the Platte river to decide where we can kayak.

Lots of trains pass through Casper hauling coal.  This was taken at the River Park but we did have them go right by the campground too.

Seems like Kay hasn't gotten too many flower pictures in lately but thought this one was pretty.  Taken at the River park is Casper.

If you look closely there is a bee in the center.

The dogs liked the River Park.  Zoe's getting more and more used to the water.

Max was enjoying getting cooled off.

Dan and Kathy are back from their vacation early and came to Casper for dinner and shopping.  Zoe's not too sure about this new hairdo.

A shot of the truck and camper parked at Casper East campground.  It's pretty tight but since they were pull throughs it wasn't too bad and we're only here for 3 nights.

Sunsets were beautiful here.

Thought this old car and wagon frame made for a nice picture.
Saw it as we were out scouting for places to launch the kayaks.

Wyoming countryside.

We loved the run on the Platte river from about 10 miles southwest of Casper to the edge of town.

These next several pictures are some of the many Kay took as we floated down the Platte River.

The front of Kay's kayak.  What a great view she had.

What better thing to do on a nice day?  None that we can think of.

Love watching the birds take off of the water.  We startled up these pelicans.

Some of the wildlife on this trip 

When I first came around the bend and saw these cows I was thinking they were caught in the fencing but it looks like they just wanted a drink.

They are building a bridge for a new road out here in the middle of nowhere.

Marty talking to one of the workers.  They said this would be a new by-pass for West Casper.

Almost at the end of the run.  Marty was wishing we had more days so that we could do it again.
I'm sure we'll be back someday to do it again.
