September at Hart Ranch

We've made it through another summer, and this one seemed particularly busy.  Probably because Kim and Richard were here and Katie and Mike and the family came too.  We also squeezed in three camping trips. Oh, and then there was work!

Now it's September, all the work campers are starting to head south (it's sad to say goodbye to everyone), the pool is shut down, all of the activities are over, and the park is thinning out.

Our last day of work is the 29th, we'll load up on the 30th, and then head to Georgia on the 1st.  We'll be there on the 5th, back with the family and squeezing grandkids!  We can't wait.

Just a few pictures.  Susan brought us some green tomatoes from her garden, and of course we fried 'em right up.  Yummy!  

We were going to squeeze in one more camping trip to the Badlands, but they were predicting rain and we didn't want to pack the tent up wet not knowing the next time we'd open it up.  So, we just took a nice days' ride through the Badlands, had lunch in Wall, and then came home.  Great ride, one of our favorites!!

Next update will be from Georgia!

Buffalo, Wyoming 2018

Last week we had a great trip to Buffalo and the Bighorn Mountains.  Good thing it was last week, as the whole area is getting snow this week!

We rode over on Monday, and it was quite cool - and the smoke from the western fires was so bad that what should have been a beautiful vista of the mountains was nothing but gray haze.

It rained Monday night and Tuesday morning, so we just hung out in town. We actually got to explore the downtown area - something we'd never done before.  The historic Occidental Hotel and Saloon was really cool - we had happy hour in the saloon.   We also went to the museum - very interesting about the cattle wars.

On Wednesday we rode on Highway 16 across the mountains and over to Ten Sleep for lunch in our favorite saloon.  We usually make the huge loop over 16 to Worland, then over to Greybull, then on Highway 14 to Sheridan and back to Buffalo; but we decided we just wanted a nice, easy ride.  It was perfect, the weather was cool and the scenery was beautiful.  Luckily the smoke had died down, so we could actually see the mountains!

Riding in the Bighorn Mountains is one of our favorite things to do, and I'm glad we got to do it again this year.  It never gets old!!!
