September 2 - The Bighorn Canyon area via Hwy 14




Barb - We decided to pack the cooler and the dog in the Jeep and take in a recommended drive of the natural sites of the Bighorn Canyon area today. Included in the sites were Devil's Canyon, one Pryor Mountain wild horse (!), steep highway travels to and from Burgess Junction (where we ate lunch but didn't see the namesake sign for a picture!), Shell Falls, and back to the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite area. Ed moistened some of the tracks and took some great close-ups (see yesterday's photo).
Ed - The drive today was easy and interesting. We viewed high mountains, wild horses, forests, open pasture land and wide sparse plains - all in about 160 miles. The views were great and I do thank the government for building highways just for my own personal use. At least that is the way it seemed, since we seldom saw any other cars or trucks.

  1. Barb & Ed,
    Love the daily blogs! Have decided you two are real risk takers after reading about your routes the past couple of days--go for it!
    Take care RVers...R & V
