Back On the Trail

The owner of Sleeping Bear RV Park was great today.  She let us store our packs in her house while we went to the Post Office and did our resupply.  Then she had her maintenance man drive us to the trail. This park had great facilities too.  We got on trail three miles north of South Pass City where jagged mountains end and the plains begin.  I had a grin on my face.  There are rolling hills and miles of sagebrush.  We saw a lot of antelope.

 There was even a baby napping on the side of the trail.  When we reached South Pass City we stopped to play tourist.  

It is a state historic site and old mining town from the 1800's.  It has been preserved and is also a museum.  It was really interesting and the staff was very friendly.  They had a trail register there for us to sign.  After that we hiked on into the evening and it was easy walking.  We are back to cows and dirt roads and that's ok.

 It's windy and open but we found a place to camp in some small trees near a river.
