Day 3 of Vacation
It's safe to say that I'm officially in vacation mode. For someone who lives by a schedule, I cannot believe that I lost track of the day and time. I'm relaxed and enjoying it. So much so that I fear getting back on my hectic schedule will be difficult.
Today started out early. Up and out of the hotel by 8:00 am. It wasn't planned, it just happened. We made our way to Jewel Cave and caught their first scenic tour of the day. One hour and 30 minutes of walking and steps. It put yesterday's Wind Cave expedition to shame. Once again, T and I found ourselves directly behind the tour guide (just like yesterday), and once again, the man with all the questions was T. :) He thoroughly enjoyed picking the guide's mind and tidbits of information. Can't say that I minded at all....we were privy to some interesting tidbits of information that weren't shared with the rest of the tour.
I'm glad that I didn't hit the gym this morning as it was a good exercise as well. All of those steps were crazy! And, at one point we were 370 ft below the surface. I am slightly claustrophobic so that tidbit of information gave me a moment to pause. But I pulled up my big girl pants and trudged along with the group (with a death grip on T's hand!).
From there we headed in to Wyoming. A friend of mine from college lives in Lusk, Wyoming. Todd Hoelmer does archeological digs in that area and owns a small little show where he displays artifacts from his digs. I tried to make contact with him while we were in Lusk, but didn't have any success. Bugger.
We made our way through a whole lot of nothing! Goodness, we hardly saw an antelope. Areas of it were pretty, but between Lusk and Casper, well let's just say that I'd hate to have a flat tire.
We're in Lander Wyoming tonight in a quaint little motel called the Rodeway Pronghorn Inn. The price is right and the room is as well.
After a quick walking tour, we're settle in for the night. Tomorrow we make our way to the Tetons.
