Badlands-bad luck

We're up to the sounds of the babbling stream, our warm springs "water feature" & our air conditioner-on low fan-and it was chilly. I wanted to get up and turn it off earlier, but it was too cold. I'm glad I got the sleeping bag to throw on top of us last night. I was up about 7:00 and put the coffee on & made the trek up to the facilities, after I found my sweats. Now, some hot coffee, cookie & pineapple and then some leftover Skillet & KK has toast and her Zero. KK also arranges the camper as we will be in it for over a week now, and we begin to take it down. We're headed southwest today, out of Dubois, thru Lander and to Lyman, WY. It's a round-about way, no matter which way you go, but since the construction is west toward Jackson Hole, we go east..but guess what? There's construction there too! Anyway, I suit up and head out on the bike, as KK gives me an hour's head start. It's a sunny, warm day (80), but the wind is at my back and I get 25 miles thru the Wyoming Badlands & the Wind River Indian Reservation before she catches me. She continues to drive on thru Lander and some desolate country & all of a sudden, as we approach another construction zone, a large truck throws a rock into our windshield & produces a crack, then a longer crack..damn'! We have to wait for the lead truck for a bit & then on past this to a pretty desolate intersection, but there is a gas station & store, before going on south over "open range" territory with a few cattle & pronghorn antelope-be aware (DANGER!) of antelope crossing the road at 55 mph! On to I-80, west toward our KOA. A stop at "Little America", a gas station, restaurant complex that is ok. We get a couple of burgers-NOT CHEESEBURGERS!- & some ice cream & proceed on to Lyman, while watching some pretty big thunderstorms on the horizon, with lots of rain & lightning. We make it just ahead of the storm & get set up in this nice but flat campground, with a few willow trees. The wind roars in and I have to hold the camper walls on the west side as KK e-mails. We survive & the temp has dropped from 93 to 70 pretty quick, but not much rain..yet. I drive up to the gas station/store/restaurant to get a 9-volt battery for our monoxide detector that seems to be going nuts, and some bread. They didn't have any at the store, but the lady went over to the restaurant and got some..thanks! We're finally connected & logging & e-mailing & KK gets out the comforter, as it's supposed to be 53 tonight. No railroads around here & the traffic is light, so it should be good sleepin'! And it's one of shortest walks to the showers. A few more RV's pull in about dark, so maybe a dozen or so in the camp. And..YEA!, KK cuts my hair! Man, was it long and wavy..shower & get some nachos at the KOA snack bar & complimentary popcorn for KK! Now that's a meal...Also made calls about our windshield & set up an appt to get a new one in Santa Fe...hope it all works out.... Thanks John for your help!..goodnight..oh, did I say the wind was blowing? Well, it still is.. (Only 3 pictures today, total!) By the way I found $10. Not quite enough to pay for the windshield.
