We were more than ready to depart Gillette today but only because we have been in one place too long. We met a lot of nice people at this rally and especially the folks from Missouri and Arkansas. After getting the coach weighed, we headed toward Buffalo, WY, then north past Sheridan and onto Scenic Hwy 14 into the Big Horn National Forest. It seems a lot of the Newmar folks are going to either Yellowstone or Glacier National Parks. We met one couple at a rest area and ended up visiting with them for about 30 minutes.
About 2 pm we found a campground that wasn't full so we pulled in. We were really afraid that we wouldn't be able to find a spot as it is Saturday before the 4th of July. It was a nice camp except that two miles down the dusty, gravel road was another camp for people with youngsters who love to race their 4-wheelers up and down the dusty, gravel road! To escape the noise, we followed the creek up stream, then crossed to hike in forest and high meadows. We saw no wildlife but lots of wild flowers. Tonight we built a big fire as a fire ban goes into effect tomorrow and we won't be able to enjoy one for awhile.
