Thermopolis

We drove through the lovely Wind River Gorge on our way to Thermopolis, WY.

There is Hot Springs State Park located there where people have come to bathe for thousands of years back to the native tribes of the area. It was a place of peace. We went up there one afternoon for a relaxing soak. We smelled of sulpher for hours. I got my hair wet. We both felt like Gumby after the 20 minute bath. We went back to trailer and replenished our fluids with Coors "mineral water".

We visited the Wyoming Dinosaur Center which has a wonderful collection. There were lots of interesting explanations of the development of life. A lot of the skeletons were posed interacting with other dinosaurs. You could also sign up and go on a "dig" for a day with paleontologists in the field.
