Laramie Day 2

Joe here. As the saying goes...being prepared is half the victory. So we are spending a few more days in Laramie learning what the other half is. After a great deal of effort in Grand Rapids ensuring that the truck was in ship shape for the trip...we are in Wyoming fixing the things that weren't.

The alternator and glow plug relay need to be replaced. These are important for two things...starting the truck, and keeping it running, both of which I highly value. Some parts need to be ordered and we may be here through Friday as well.

Spirits are high though as we are together and enjoying being halfway to Cali. This morning when we awoke, there were four pronghorn grazing outside the "Dutch" (we have decided that our home needs a better moniker than the RV). We have found Wyoming to be an expansive place...lightly populated by people who would have no problem keeping it that way.

The only issue so far in Laramie is the lack of transportation. Not so much for sustenance as for enjoyment. The mountains are so close, but we can only enjoy them by sight, not by foot. If anyone has a few bicycles they wouldn't mind overnighting, that would be great!

I believe that Laura added a few more pics to the Flickr site here enjoy!
