We were not in a hurry when we got up this morning as we only had about 125 miles to do. I think we started packing up around 9:30. Soon we were on the road headed to Cheyenne, WY. We are staying at F.E. Warren Air Force Base just outside of town. We will be here until the 1st of Aug. While we are here we will be visiting the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo.
Once we got setup the first place we headed to was the PX. Bill has let his hair grow and he can't stand how long it is. Here is a before and after picture.
I took the after picture in the morning before he had a chance to comb his hair.
After the haircut we browsed through the PX. Tomorrow we will do some grocery shopping at the Commissary. We also took the car over to wash it. Of course that meant that it rained that night.
There are a lot of antelope wandering the base. Here is one we saw right next to the campground office. They don't seem to be too afraid of people.
While driving down I-80 we saw this statue of Lincoln. I think it was in a rest area. Don't know why it is there.
That is all for now. Hope you have a good day.

I thought Bill was becoming a rebel with the long hair. LOL As for the memorial--it used to be elsewhere...
Lincoln's head was built by Wyoming's Parks Commission to honor Lincoln's 150th birthday. It was sculpted by Robert Russin, a University of Wyoming art professor and a Lincoln fan (When he died in 2007, his ashes were interred inside the hollow monument). The head originally stood alongside the highest point of the old coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway, at Sherman Summit, 8,878 feet above sea level. When I-80 was completed in 1969, the head was moved here -- losing a couple of hundred feet (and its key rationale for existing, really) but gaining a vast new audience.
The bronze head weighs over two tons and is 13.5 feet tall. It's perched atop a 30-foot granite pedestal
