Since leaving the Great Sand Dunes National Park area we have been moving pretty fast only staying a couple days at each spot so I have gotten a little behind on the blog. We left the BLM land near Great Sand Dunes NP and moved to Arkansas Point State Park in Pueblo, Colorado where we stayed for a couple days. This was a nice park on a large lake. From there we moved to Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont, CO for a couple days. From there we moved to the Terry Bison Ranch which is just over the Colorado/Wyoming border near Cheyenne, WY. This is a huge working bison ranch with over 27,000 acres and over 1000 head of bison, lots of horses and assorted farm animals and a few more exotic animals - a great place to camp for a few days. We then moved on to Platte River Campground in Glenrock, WY where we have been for about a week taking a break from traveling which gave us time to get mail and some packages sent to us. While here we upgraded the solar on the RV. We added two more solar panels which required upgrading our solar controller to handle the extra panels and replacing some of the wiring to handle the extra current.
We were heading to Yellowstone to beat the summer rush but we have to go to Sioux Falls, SD to take care of some personal business so we will try to go to Yellowstone in the fall after the summer rush. On the way to Sioux Falls we plan to go to Mount Rushmore, The Black Hills and The Badlands which are all in Southwest South Dakota and somewhat on our way to Sioux Falls.
