We left the Billings KOA on Tuesday, September 21 and headed to Buffalo, Wyoming.
Along the way we could see that some of the trees were beginning to turn shades of yellow and orange, a sign that fall is in the air! On the road to Wyoming we did see Antelope along the roadside. It was funny, when we were in Montana we did not see many Antelope and once we crossed the boarder into Wyoming, there were Antelope all along the road. John is always surprised when we pull into the campground in Buffalo, Wyoming, that there are wild turkeys running around the campground. He says that when we was younger and out to hunt turkeys they were no where to be seen and now we see them all over the place!!
We stayed in Buffalo for two nights. The first night that we were there our friends Gary and Courtney pulled into the campground and joined us. We all went across the street to the local restaurant and had one of the best dinners. Of all things on the menu was Oysters Rockefeller.....they were outstanding to say the least! Who would have thought you would find these in the middle of the country?
Gary and Courtney left the next day, however we decided to stay and do a little more sight seeing. We had been here several years ago during our first year of RVing. We went over to the little town of Story(just to the east of Buffalo). We had stopped there before and had a great lunch at the "General Store'. Unfortunately you can
't go home again, as was once written. The little town was all but gone. A few brave souls still live there but the General Store was all closed up. It was a great store....so much stuff!!!!! We left Story and drove through Buffalo, once again the little town is fading. So many businesses were closed or going out of business. It is sad to see these little towns go by the wayside!The next day we were off to Rapid City for the Retired Northwest Pilots Association convention.
More on that later....
Until then, we love to hear from you.
Candy and Johnny
