Traveling through WY

Left Idaho Falls, ID Monday and drove to Wyoming via Hwy. 26/89 and then 189/191. This took me through the small town of Hoback Junction and Pinedale; I stopped for the night at the High Line Trail RV Park in Boulder, WY (about 12 miles SE of Pinedale). Not much of a park but it met my needs. BTW, if you haven't been to Pinedale - it has crown exponentially over the past 15 years due to oil and gas development. A lot of high-priced homes in the area to take advantage of mountain views and proximity to Jackson. They say the billionaires in Jackson have driven up real estate to the point that mere millionaires are forced to build in Dubois and Pinedale:)

Tuesday I drove through the small town of Farson, WY on my way to Rawlins; stayed at the Western Hills Campground; again, not much there but great showers and laundry room. I first visited Farson about 14 years ago and at that time the only business in town (really just a crossroads of Hwys. 28 and 191) is the Mercantile - "Home of the Big Cone". Famous locally for their large ice cream cones. Unfortunately, it was 8:30am went I passed through and they were not yet open:(

This morning (7/23) I drove about 100 miles south to Craig, CO where I plan to spend the night at Craig Campground. Similar to the last couple of one-night-stands, this park is basic and nothing to brag about but it supplies electricity which runs the AC - critical this time of year:)
