Day 5 Wyoming..

From the 14th..

In the morning we tried to get ready pretty quick heading west, but before we start driving every day both girls need activity time...to run of some energy.. This morning all 4 girls went for a walk in this little town, Saratoga. Like I wrote yesterday it wasn't so much to do or look at here, and a rainy morning to.. One interesting thing was the Hobo hot springs. A natural hotspring you could swim in for free. We didnt take the time this morning, but we talked with a man who always sat in the water early morning..he was sure this mineral filled, 106 degrees F ( 41 degrees C) warm water had healing effects on him. I believe heat helps...

Well in our car, we drove north to Rawling and then I - 80 to Rock Springs in western Wyoming.  We ate a really fresh lunch at Applebees. It seems like we always take long lunches..but I guess that's needed..no stress or hurry when we have the two girls...

We took an exciting detour this afternoon. A little south of Rock Springs there's a National recreation area named Flaming Gorge. We drove down through the Firehole region and once again we were thrilled by the weather....we had sunshine and blue most of the day until we reached the canyon...all alone in the middle of nowhere and the sky turned black! And I mean black..It rained so heavily and the lightnings..oh my..I'm glad we were in the car and both girls were sleeping.. It's impressive how powerful the nature can be..no need for rollercoaster adrenaline kicks when your way out west...Well one sure thing is that bad weather rolls in as quick as it will go away.. As soon as we turned back we got blue sky again, and we could see all amazing rockformations and all the colors! Well worth the extra time for stunning views and the excitement!

Later we took highway 191 north all the way up to Pinedale. On the way we stopped at a very nice playground right outside the little ( kinda nasty and dirtylooking) town of Eden.. So surprising with this playground..it was perfect almost in the middle of nowhere. Well planned climbingtoys for both girls, clean and it had one regular portapotti  and one good for wheelchairs (bajjamajor) and they even smelled good..couldn't believe it... we stayed for quite a while before we hit the road to Pinedale.

We arrived pretty late to our hotel after driving exactly 300 miles
( 480 km)...
