Finally Wyoming.

We left June 17, 2008 for the last lap of our journey to Wyoming. We arrived at Howard's mom's house in Wheatland, Wyoming in the afternoon of the 17th. We later went out to Howard's sister Nancy's house.
Aunt Nancy and Uncle Eddie's new home where the family reunion took place.

More of Trip to Wyoming

This pass is about 10 miles out of Leadville, CO. We continued from Leadville on to Interstate 70. We travelled on I-70. and exited at Dillon. We camped that night at a BLM Campground near Kremmling, CO. There was nothing special there.

I decided I had better continue our trip to Wyoming before a year goes by. My last post left us at Buena Vista, CO on June 16, 2008. We left Buena Vista for Leadville, Co. Leadville is an old mining town. There is still going on there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLAND







Look how you have grown



Grandma and Grandpa C wish you a very Happy Birthday

Cottonwood Pass

Jimmy enjoyed the snow. It was really cold up that high.


We left Tin Cup, Colorado in the afternoon of June 16 and went over Cottonwood Pass to Buena Vista, CO. There was alot of snow there yet. Howard hasn't gotten all the pictures on the computer yet. I will send one later to show the depth of the snow in comparison to our RV. The road over the pass was dirt until we got to the top and payment on the other side. The dirt part was really pretty good for the time of year.

More Tin Cup Pictures






This is some more pictures taken at Larry Campbell's house.The top picture is the front of their house and a picture of an elk head that Larry did. Of course, the next one is Howard and Larry. I got them laughing by saying, "Look at those noses!"

Old Griz and Tin Cup Kate











Our visit June16 with Larry Campbell and his wife Kate was very interesting. Larry's grandpa Steven Campbell and Howard's grandpa Robert Campbell were brothers. Larry built his log house and builds log cabins for other people. We toured his house which has alot of antiques. Also he does his own taxidermy so there were alot of stuffed critters. He also has a wonderful wood working shop. He built the table and chairs pictured and also carved the Campbell Family Crest on a beam in his dining room. Larry fixed us hamburgers and all the trimmings for lunch. We left for Cottonwood Pass after lunch. Stay blogged in for more highlights of the trip to Wyoming.
