We're in Buffalo, WY again tonight, just enjoying the R&R. Buffalo is situated on the Bozeman Trail. "The Bozeman Trail was an overland route connecting the Oregon Trail to the gold rush territory of Montana. The flow of white pioneers and settlers through territory of American Indians provoked their resentment and attacks. The U.S. Army undertook several military campaigns against the Indians. The trail was so important for its association with US frontier history and conflict with American Indians that it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places." (Wikipedia). It's a lovely town with a difinite Western feel.
The stretch of land between Gillette and Buffalo was the most desolate I've ever traveled. It was a little unsettling knowing that there were no service stations. We saw few cars and only a few trucks. Joe drove 75 (the speed limit) the entire way, but it still seemed to take forever.
We're moving on to Cody Wy tomorrow and should finally reach Yellowstone Friday or Sat.
Sorry I have no new pictures today. Thanks for staying with us.
