Traveled today from Rawlins to Cheyenne, WY. Very diverse landscapes from desert like buttes, rolling grasslands filled with cattle and deer as well as the climb past Elk Mountain and at Medicine Bow the highest elevation on I-80 at 8640 feet. Interesting that most of the route we have been traveling on I-80 the last few days was originally the Lincoln Highway. This was a National effort in the 1920’s to build a 3400 mile trans-continental highway from New York to San Francisco that at least through Wyoming tracks along the old mid-1800’s Wagon Trails and Overland Stage Coach Route. Replaced by the Eisenhower Interstate system in the 1970’s the I-80 route we are on has a long history and very interesting history.
Glamped at the KOA Cheyenne. Very friendly nice park but all gravel and a little tight. Pull-thru full-hookup great for an overnight but we are staying 3 days. Nice pool that I will try tomorrow. (6 out of 10)
