Left Wheatland at 9 this morning with many tears. It has
been good for Bill’s training as he was getting more experience cycling at a
much higher altitude and dealing with heavier winds. We got to meet the police
and sheriffs in Wheatland and also the Wyoming Highway Patrol while we were
here. So now we are on Route 25 headed for Billings ,
Montana to meet with a pastor there. We
spoke at his church 27 years ago and thought he might be interested in having
us again. On the way back, we’re adjusting our route to come back through
Wheatland to speak at the Impact Ministries
Church . Looking forward to it! Just
stopped in the town of Douglas for
a quick rest stop. There are large metal figures on the hills here. I would
imagine they are great landmarks. Shot pictures of the pony express rider ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lC-yRTewza7CsEXzcI0dskn_xDO7J9mnhwRVCcZZZcyU-7mOTZ7NmZRY4pD_KH9CTepiWIOvmn78LHPK1dl6THDBuvyxFoOSdD6XN_t18edreqwFQsd_5-XUnRqbs_9FkcksAR-qZcM/s400/IMG_2108.JPG)
and
the jackalope.
We visited the Wyoming
Law Enforcement
Academy where you could hear them
target shooting. A few miles north of Douglas , you
can see some of the wind turbines that have been installed here. They’re right
near the Dave Johnston power plant.
We used to live inWyoming
years ago and when I traveled to Casper
with my friend Charlie, this power plant would be all lit up at night and look
like a riverboat on the Mississippi . This power plant is in full operation and you can see how clean it runs on Wyoming coal. A little further along was another metal figure on a hill…a dinosaur this time.
The long road ahead leads toCasper , Wyoming .
We used to live in
The long road ahead leads to
Bill stopped in at the Casper Fire Department and received 4 patches from Division Chief Daniel Griswold. Thank-you Dan!
and then hopped on over to the Casper Police Department
across the street. He came out with 3 patches and a handful of coins. We didn't get his name but would like to thank this kind officer.
We are
doing this to thank them but so often, they thank us! Thank-you Casper
police officers and firefighters! We appreciate you! Going forward on this long
lonely highway to Buffalo , WY ,
over 100 miles away.
Lots of high prairie and prairie dog towns along the way.
Made it to Buffalo ! We had lunch at
a rest area in our little beach house on wheels a few miles back and just found
the Buffalo Police Department. Nice little town; the downtown reminded me of
Jonesborough back in Tennessee . Bill
just came out with a patch from the Buffalo Police and another from the Johnson
County Sheriff.
They were excited that we were doing this. Thank-you officers
of Thank-you Officer Jeff Forsythe! The internet here is very slow; hopefully I will get to post this tonight. See you tomorrow!
