Those 70ish girls…On to Wyoming

Mary Francis McNinch

Karlyce finished strong with her nostalgic dinners. We had scalloped potatoes and ham, Mexican casserole, and pot roast with all the trimmings. She made peach cobbler, zucchini bread, and Mexican chocolate cake for desserts. Here are a few photos.

Karlyce is one of the best cooks I have ever known.
Sunrise, our last day in Greeley.

We left Greeley Thursday morning and took the scenic route to Laramie. We’re staying at a KOA that we stayed at 8 years ago when we were here. We were on our very 1st RV trip.

Virginia Dale…Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, along with Frank Carlisle, robbed the train that stopped here. The train had to slowly go up a steep incline, which gave the threesome an opportunity to ride their horses beside the train, jump on, and rob it. One would hold the horses and lead them beside the slow-moving train. The other 2 robbers would jump back on and ride off. They did this several times over the years.

The reunion starts today. We have a grandson that attends UW, but he’s not here yet. We will see the rest of our son’s family next week when we get to Gillette.

We’re going to meet 2 of Kip’s sisters for breakfast. The 3rd sister is driving in from Sheridan and will be here early afternoon.

Registration is at the fairgrounds. They’re going to have food trucks, displays, and music from 4-11. First, we’re going to visit the cemetery and drive by all the places everyone remembers from growing up here. Unless you’re a new reader, you know that I love reunions. Eat your heart out, cousin Lav.

    I’m eating but not my heart. Sheesh, my calorie intake can’t keep up with yours obviously. Plus you have the best chef in Colorado assisting you! I will be registering in Laramie today but you won’t recognize me since I will be in disguise. I never met a reunion I didn’t like.
