The sun shines in Wyoming!

There is a blue sky here; we had begun to wonder. And wind, 42 mph gusts. The wind actually sucked me out the motorhome door yesterday. I am not kidding!

But the sky is a beautiful blue again and my photos have color again. They had been so monochromatic this past week with all the snow and cloudy skies. The snow is all melted now and we are hoping to see the Indian Summer that it appeared had been skipped.

My brother happens to be working in Wyoming this week so we will meet him for dinner tonight in Cheyenne. Fun! We are in an RV park at a bison ranch where there is said to be a herd of 3,000 bison. We can see a small herd from the RV park. Interesting things around Cheyenne should keep us happy here for several days. We toured the state capital building yesterday with its small Senate and House chambers. This is the least populated state with less than 600,000 total population. I marvel at that small population supporting an entire state; they don't even have a state income tax, sales taxes are only 6% and the state is operating in the black. Revenues are mostly from their natural resources, businesses such as ranching and tourism. Nice place to live if it weren't for the wind and the cold! That must be what keeps the population so low...
