July 2nd, 3rd, & 4th, Ten Sleep, Wyoming
Using the Good Sam phone app we found a little town in Wyoming that was north and east of Coalville. We wanted to go north and aim to get on I90 eventually. We chose not to vector through the Rockie Mountains and Denver. The name of the town is Ten Sleep. It got its name because it took the Indians 10 nights of sleeping to get to this town from some other well known Indian camps.
The Ten Sleep RV park was adjacent to the local rodeo. We had a nice time visiting the rodeo the nights of July 2nd & 3rd. July 2nd was the junior 10 & 11 year old steer bucking contest. The evening of July 3rd was the full adult rodeo competition. On July 4th the town which is immediately adjacent to the rv park and rodeo, had their fourth of July parade.
We stayed three nights as it was a relaxing location and we had fun visiting the rodeo and walking around downtown Ten Sleep.
