We hadn’t intended on going as far west as Wyoming.
But what the heck!
We stayed in Buffalo the night and in the morning drove to Bighorn National Forest. It was beautiful with lots of huge rocky outcrops that were billions of years old. Driving through we noticed that on one side of the road the trees and ground were covered with snow and on the other there was none.
Go figure!
We had stopped at a beautiful lake that was partially frozen over when a man in a grader drove up and got out. He looked kind of rough, with long hair, a Harley Davidson cap on and half a finger missing (again not relevant but just building a picture for you). We thought we were in trouble until he offered to take our picture for us as he had been watching us try and take one of the two of us together. You know the ones, you stand as close together as possible, one of you holds the camera out as far as you can and you aim and shoot. And hope for the best. Sometimes it works out okay but more often than not your head takes up most of the shot and looks overly large due to the fact that your arms are too short to hold the camera as far away as you really need to.
We chatted to him for awhile (he was actually a really nice guy) before heading off through the forest and enjoying being “at one” with nature.
On the way back Shelia (remember, the gps) asked us if we were happy to go on dirt roads.
We said yes.
Part way down Crazy Woman Canyon Road we realized that we were kind of crazy to say yes. The further down the road we got, the more covered in snow the dirt track got. Nic managed to turn us around without getting stuck or driving off the edge and sinking into the snow. Sheila wasn’t happy though and kept telling us to turn around when possible. She can get a bit annoying when we don’t do what she tells us.
Good thing we can just turn her off.
