Day 5 – Going to see Ian Tyson
Huck Finn Pond–across the street from Amanda and Evan’s house. This is Seamus’ favorite swimming hole. When we take him for walks, we have to stay far away from the pond to keep him from jumping in.Tommy and I dropped Amanda off at work and went to find a barn that the backyard neighbor told …
Day 4, Part 3 – Going to see Ian Tyson
More rain clouds on our way back into Laramie.We had seen this barn a couple of times from I80 and decided to go find it. It supposedly was moved to its current location and was working until the 1960’s.And the very last picture from Day 4. A flower bed for you. Some people are just …

Day 4 – Going to see Ian Tyson
At some point over the last year Tommy, while reading the Cheyenne newspaper, found an article about the Devil’s Creek hike. This trail is 6.6 miles through the Platte River Wilderness area.

Day 2, Part 2 – Going to see Ian Tyson!
When we got to Sidney, Nebraska, we decided to go shopping at Cabela’s. I think this is Tommy’s favorite store. He bought a couple of flannel shirts and a few other things. I got nothing!On one of our prior trips to Wyoming, we had gotten off of the interstate and found this motel. We laughed …
Day 2 – Going to see Ian Tyson!
After checking out of the hotel, we went to Denny’s to get a breakfast sandwich to go. They were pretty good, but not nearly as good as those that we’d had in Clarence, Iowa or Wood River, Nebraska on our prior trip. As you drive north on Highway 29 you drive through the Missouri River …
Day 1 – Going to see Ian Tyson!
Amanda called us a couple of weeks ago as soon as she had heard that Ian Tyson (of Four Strong Winds fame) was going to be performing at the University of Wyoming. As I’m sure that our good friend Julian will agree (since he’s driven with Tommy to Wyoming), Ian Tyson is one of Tommy’s …
