Now we are really off and running

OK, now we left Casper for real. The house is done, everything that we couldn't part with is stored in Sundance, and the dogs have been kind enough to let us travel with them! Jay and Kristy kindly are taking care of the closing and storing the sportscar...(don't ya know they hate that!) So our first night out of Casper we made it as far as Saratoga, and decided since we are retired ol vagabonds, we didn't have to go any farther if we didn't want to, so we didn't! Stayed at Deer Haven Campground and met the caretakers who were our next door neighbors. Only spent one night there, so didn't even wet a fly. Went to the Wolf for dinner which is always a huge treat. The old Wolf Hotel is really so nice and the Campbells that own it are good friends. We didn't see Doug and Kathleen but Jimmy was at the ready tending bar, so that was all good. We saw some trout rising in the river, but didn't go after them. Think I should have checked Barry's pulse for not rigging up and going fishing right then and there! So we slept the night away next to the Platte River in the wonderful cool autumn night temperatures...Ahhh. life is pretty damn good.
