Gillette, WY, Airstream Rally - 2010

We arrived in Gillette yesterday afternoon. Our first stop after leaving home was the Hi-Desert RV Park in Winnemucca. It's much improved since our first stay there several years ago when it had just been purchased by new owners.

Day 2 took us to Meridian to see Mom and my sister, Sue. And, of course, the dachshund, Tammy. Tammy is always distraught when we leave, poor thing.

Sunday it was off for Wyoming. We stayed in Lyman. Note: don't stay in Lyman again. It was a KOA and we didn't get the promised WiFi OR TV. That just doesn't cut it for us; we've been spoiled!

Yesterday was the long way to Gillette. The scenery is beautiful, due in part to the large amounts of rain they've had. Who hasn't??? The rivers and creeks are almost overflowing. We hear more is expected.

Last night we got a new antenna, shopped for groceries and visited a few friends. Darrell and Sharon have a granddaughter with them this year. Madelyn is sure to have a great time and is quickly learning how to "live in aluminum". Dottie and Fred told us to be sure and do the coal mine tour.

The meadowlarks are singing, the "Montana" sky seems to have extended beyond the state's border, it's windy and a big storm is predicted in the next few days. We're going to have a great time!
