It was a pretty chilly morning again with the temps around 44. it was also foggy which we haven"t seen here before. I had loaded everything that I could yesterday so it did not take much to get going this morning. We got on the road about 8:00. Our first stop was at the Wyoming Territorial Prison Museum. They have a RV dump and fresh water station there. It is run on donations. After that we stopped at a Loves Truck stop and filled up with gas. We finally headed out to Encampment Wy. They have a little city park which is first come first serve. If there is not a opening we will have to backtrack to Saratoga which has a big campground on a small lake. It's not my first choice as its wide open and gravel dusty conditions. We traveled the high plains for about 75 miles on I-80. It was an easy drive. Then we headed south to Encampment. We got there about 11:30. There was 2 open sites at the little park. It's not fancy but has electricity, water and a dump station.. They are pull thrus so easy to get in. The ground is unlevel on the site I was in. For the first time ever I misjudged the slope. I had the trailer leveled out but when I put my first stabilizer down the trailer rolled back off the front jack, it bent my stabilizer. I then had to jack the front up manually until I could get pads back under my electric jack. Did a better job the second time. I will have to take the bent stabilizer off before leaving. It was nice to have electricity and not have to run generator. I set the TV satellite up and we were in business. After lunch and a nap for Susan we took a little drive around. I thought about washing my truck but all the streets in this town are gravel except for the main drag. Depending on the weather we plan on going back up to the Snowy Mountain Range. It's a much shorter drive from here. For supper I did squash and chicken thighs in the air fryer. I love using the air fryer, its perfect for two people and so easy.
