August 31 - Buffalo, WY area

Barb - We took two Jeep drives in the Buffalo area today. The first one was the Crazy Woman Creek canyon road (maybe the name fits me sometimes?). The drive would not be for all "city" vehicles and certainly not a lengthy motorhome! The road was rocky, steep, and not very well maintained, but the canyon was scenic. I would call part of it "off-roading" except we were on the road! The other drive went past the Bud Love Winter Range wildlife refuge area where we saw pronghorn, mule deer, and wild turkeys. Much better road!



Ed - The drive down the rock/river canyon was interesting. I do not think any of the holes or ruts were 12" deep but they were deep enough. Many of the areas were rough or rutted enough to slow the car to 2 or 3 miles per hour. The road (such as it was) would have cut the sidewalls out of the tires if I had tried to go much faster. We only passed 2 ranger vehicles on the 15 mile trail. We did not see any wildlife until the scenic byway we took after lunch. During this trip we saw herds of pronghorn antelope, mule deer and white tail deer.
