Day 3

We went through the Custer State Park on the Wildlife Loop this morning. We saw bison (tatanka), antelope and prairie dogs. We chose to take a dirt road leaving the park which I called a "goat path." Carson kept asking where the goats were.

 

 

We made it to Wyoming. Jackson keeps asking how much longer until we get to Jackson Hole. I hope he loves it when he finally sees his mountains.

Tonight, we are taking a wagon train to have a Dutch oven dinner by the North Platte River. We will spend the night in a teepee.  The North Platte River was crossed by all settlers.  The Mormon Trail, the Oregon Trail and the California Trail all came through Casper, WY before going their separate ways.
