BUCKLE UP BUTTERCUP



A much needed bit of comic relief on a very long drive through Wyoming.
The day was eventful in the most unusual ways.  

Driving through the Big Horn National Forest and the need to go to the bathroom kept mounting, 42 miles into a desolate ride and 30 miles left, we turned off the road, stopped at a "trailer park" asked Earl if I could use his bathroom and he and Roseanne kindly obliged. 
We would have stopped and stooped on the side of the road if Bessie and her friends weren't lining the highway 

Now, 9 miles from the interstate all the lights in our car began to flash and send crazy messages "cruise control no longer functional, headlights not functional" all system warning lights flashing.

"Hey Siri" is there a Toyota Dealer in Sheridan, Wyoming???
and there 5 miles from us is Fremont Toyota and the kindest Service Man, Brian. We left him with the car, walked across to Taco Bell and returned to the car "all fixed and ready to go".
There are so many ways this could have gone, none of which had as wonderful an outcome.  Turns out the car was thrown off balance(picture a washing machine) when we had gone over the animal grates to get to Earl and Roseanne's Trailer Park. 



We continued on down the road a piece to the great state of
 South Dakota
and ended the day in Deadwood, 
cute and just as you'd expect..a casino in every other building and 
a night life that only a small town with 45 casinos can offer





No more tonight...cause...
