After leaving Denver, we continued our trek West. And our first stop was at the Welcome Center in Wyoming, where we got quite a welcome!
After we talked our way out of this predicament, we got back on the road as fast as possible. But all I can say is…It’s a LONG way from Denver to McCall, Idaho. In fact, we drove all day and we never got out of Wyoming!
Our overnight stop FINALLY landed us in Evanston, Wyoming. And boy…we were ready for a COLD one with the Cowboys!
We always head to the “downtown” part of town, to get away from the franchise clutter and sameness you find at every freeway exit in America. And these old buildings are one of reasons we head into town. We stopped on Main Street (where else?) and found Kate’s Bar.
I guess some people even forget their jackets in the winter time…or maybe they just leave one there to be prepared for a cold snap!
The locals were friendly and we felt right at home…but there were no ten gallon hats. So we forged ahead…to Spanky’s Bar.
And there he was! A real old-time COWBOY…
And he LOVED to talk. And TALK. He told us he owns four SECTIONS of land….and each section is 640 acres! So do the math…that’s a lot of ground to cover…on a HORSE! He told us it takes about 60 acres of land to feed ONE COW since the land is so barren…so his ranch is considered really small. Wow…
We learned a lot from him…maybe a little more than we needed to hear. So after awhile we excused ourselves and headed back to our hotel for some dinner and a good night’s sleep before hitting the road toward our next destination…McCall.
