Stop 5: Journey RV, Laramie, WY

It's funny how you can learn to truly appreciate that nothing went wrong today. At least we couldn't think of anything.

We got an early start and said goodbye to the winery. It was a very quiet night and the only thing that some might find as a negative is there is an occasional whiff of manure. But it's in farm country, so that's going to happen. Didn't bother us, but we thought we should mention it for those reading this blog for info about the Harvest Host campsites. 

So, tonight we are in Laramie, Wyoming at Journey RV park, right next to the highway. We got here a little after 2:30pm because of the early start and the time change. So we had time to chill and get a little more organized. It was kinda hot when we got here, but not enough to use the AC. 

Maybe it was in the 80s. It's supposed to get chilly tonight. More of the same tomorrow in Utah. It's a very nice, well-maintained park. The office people were welcoming. It looks like there may be some residents, but mostly transients like us.

The sky here is amazing! There were storms raging all around us and here we were in this island of sunshine. You could see the rain pouring down in sheets. Much of it was disappearing before it hit the ground.


The humidity here is 11% so the rain was evaporating in mid-air. In some parts of the sky, it almost looked like aurora borealis in deep shades of grey and blue. This picture does not do it justice. Once in a while, you'd hear thunder or get a few sprinkles of sun shower rain.

We were surprised at the elevation of the state of Nebraska. For some reason, we equated flat land with low land. Wyoming is even higher at 7200 feet. 

Dinner was steak (yup, from Steckler's) over salad. The last of the cucumbers from our home garden, celery, tomato, onion. Roger added some Steckler's cheddar cheese. Pita bread from Old Farm Truck as well.

We went for a walk after dinner just to get the kinks out. This place is really nice. The spaces are all pull through with full hookups, picnic tables and really nice fire pits with benches. Some trees, but not too many for those of us with solar panels.



Nice little gardens here and there. A HUGE fenced park where dogs are allowed and picnic tables here and there. 

These roses look recently planted. Even the trash collection dumpster locations are tidy.

So, yeah, I'd recommend this place.
