Saturday July 7, 2018 Rock Springs, Wyoming

Happy Birthday Mom!! Great backdrop to the campground. Relaxing non-travel day in Rock Springs. Shopped with Tucker at Petco for new dog food and vitamins to stop itching. Toured downtown Rock Springs. Interesting town originally a coal mining town primarily for the Union Pacific Railroad. At its coal mining peak they had 56 different nationalities living in town together to work the mines and they still celebrate this diversity as the second largest “Melting Pot” west of the Mississippi. The town’s theme is painted bulls with all types of businesses advertising on them. Had lunch at the Bitter Creek Brewery, a small micro brewery downtown (the Wee Bastard Scottish Ale was excellent.)
