WYOMING - Wheatland


August 16 Thursday Left Cody and headed toward Ft. Collins, Colorado, but had to spend one night in Wheatland, Wyoming to break up the drive.  On the way to Wheatland we stopped in Thermopolis to see the Dinosaur Center.   Very interesting....lots of fossils from all over the world.  After the Dinosaur Center we continued through Wind River Canyon onto Wheatland to stay at Mountain View RV Park for the night.  We took some nice pictures going through the Canyon.
