We left Laramie Wyoming in the middle of a rodeo, there were people out in the courtyard of the hotel last night roping plastic pvc pipe cattle.
After a brief drive we arrived at our next destination stop, Riverside Wyoming. A place Carmine and I randomly ended up visiting 20 years ago and always thought of returning to. To be honest, I was a little worried, what we loved about it might not work for this group...
Well, it is now just as wonderful as it was then. The air still smells like cinnamon, the Beartrap Cafe still makes huge homemade cinnamon rolls every morning and the river flows right next to our cabin.
There are no big amusements, no mini-golf, NO chain restauraunts and no television (in our cabin). It is a beautiful place with super friendly people, a place where each day feels a little longer than a regular day back home.
Shortly after we got here, people in the campground came up to us and started welcoming us and making suggestions of some things the kids might like to do. There is a hot spring nearby, a homesteader museum and this weekend is the annual Grand Encampment Cowboy gathering (I didn't even plan this!). Right now the kids are loving walking the river stones and building fires in the pit.
