8/26/2024

 8/26/2024: Powell, WY to Sheridan, WY. Church last night was at St. Barbara's in Powell. Our overnight stay was in their city rest stop, Homesteader Park. What a nice place with picnic grounds, overnight parking, an aquatic center, a playground, dog park and a fishing area. This morning, rain! It was slow going through the mountain pass and many switchbacks. We saw a truck that had plowed through a guardrail. Emergency help was there so it probably happened an hour or so before we arrived. The cause was likely the slush on the road. The lowest temp we saw today was 39. Later we pulled off the road and saw a moose enjoying some vegetation. We stopped early today because of weather. The weather cleared about 3pm, so we decided to go to Gillette (2hours east) where we are spending the night at Walmart.

Here's looking at you

You can see the switchbacks

Clearmont population is 29

Saw bunches of these

What a lonely, remote area.  Few cars or properties.
