DAY 9

Day 9

I just noticed that I missed Day 9, so I’ll rectify that now. Day 9 was travel from Rapid City, SD to Cheyenne, WY, 300+ miles through lots of wide open spaces. No one can feel cramped in this part of the country. We drove through mile after mile of scrub brush, sage and wide open spaces.

Our lodging for the night is another old hotel,The Historic Plains Hotel in Cheyenne. The hotel opened in 1911. The accommodations were enjoyed equally by cattle barons, oil tycoons and tonight by Dick and Judy. The hotel received a “face lift” in 2002 and is really quite nice.

Here are a few photos, 1st us and the boots, next The Plains Hotel, The Union and Pacific train station.
