A Night Out in the West

Tomorrow my sister and I will start out to drive to Minnesota to see our older sister.  Tonight was our last night out on the town, so thought I’d bring you along with us to see a bit of how Sheridan, Wyomingites do things.

Dinner at the Rib and Chop House. Cowboy sort of chow, for sure, as was evidenced by the well-hatted diners at the next table. Jim, minus cowboy hat, failed to fit the pattern as he (obviously) enjoyed his Long Island Iced Tea!

This surreal scene was actually a kid’s meal served in an automobile at the next table.

After dinner, a ride in the city park, where one local has started altering dead trees with a chain saw.

New playground equipment makes me wish to be a kid again for just one slide down that tube side on a sheet of waxed paper!

Something a stranger might drop jaw at is the herd of buffalo. The barn  below is where they seek shelter during snow storms and other inclement weather. Cushy life on the range. There is actually a huge fenced-in  hilltop a few city blocks in size where they are free to roam along with a herd of elk.

Driving home, we saw this young deer dining on newly sprouted leaves of a neighbor’s trees. His herd of five had been at my sister’s house earlier this morning. Tonight, however, we didn’t see the pheasant I saw crossing the road yesterday.

      This area around Sheridan, where my sister and several of my college friends live really is the most beautiful part of Wyoming, although we drove 600 miles today from Sheridan to Sioux Falls in the pounding rain and fog the entire way and it was all beautiful.
