Memorial Day weekend.  Unofficial start of SUMMER.  Estimated 42 million Americans on the road next 3 days.  Lucky for me, notta lotta folks holidaying outside Laramie WYOMING.  LOL>

Backpack, run clothes & – dog treats.  Pup couldn’t be more excited.  Quick stop in Cheyenne for [Sunday’s 50K] bib pick-up, hour highway more: I-80 Vedauwoo exit.  Dirt-flying gritty ranch roads.  Airbnb SUCCESS!  Secluded, no cell, no TV, fenced yard, FRESH eggs & two Tom turkeys.

Overstimulated Pup.  In/out in/out.  Near perfect weather – early season, no bugs – finally, just left the door ajar.  Smell of fried eggs inside, wild Wyoming outdoors.  Paw-friendly Ro destination.

Stars, BIG sky.  Zero people noise, ambient light void.  BESTEST sleeping weather.  Early pre-dawn rise.  Watched a herd of ELK before booting-up for Saturday’s hike in nearby Vedauwoo.  Camped here couple years back with Ash & Tom.  Easy 4-mile loop, 8000ft elevation.  Welcome Summer!

Quick supply run into Laramie (always room for COCONUT CREAM PIE).

Gobble, gobble.  Clatter of big bird Toms.  Back on the Ranch/Home on the Range.  Pup now on chipmunk patrol, guarding the perimeter.  Popcorn & a DVD before surrendering our day done.

Wyoming unplugged.  Gotta/hafta/must do.  Highly recommended 😊
