After Wyoming

Excepts about Wyoming

  Wyoming - From Wikipedia - Press Here for additional Information.   



On December 10, 1869, territorial Governor John Allen Campbell extended the right to vote to women, making Wyoming the first territory to do so, and upon statehood became the first state to grant women's suffrage.[25] Women first served on juries in Wyoming (Laramie in 1870). Wyoming was also a pioneer in welcoming women into electoral politics.[26] It had the first female court bailiff (Mary Atkinson, Laramie, in 1870), and the first female justice of the peace in the country (Esther Hobart Morris, South Pass City, in 1870). In 1924, Wyoming was the first state to elect a female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, who took office in January 1925.[27] Due to its civil-rights history, one of Wyoming's state nicknames is "The Equality State", and the official state motto is "Equal Rights".[1]

So, for those of you reading, how does Wyoming stack up to day's equal protection to Women.

As we continued our travels heading eastward. We left I-84 and transition onto I-80, outside of Ogdon, UT. 

We currently were at an elevation of 4000ft, and started climbing upto 6000+ft. Once we were pass Evanston, the elevation leveled out to around 6000ft. The elevation does not change until just east of Laramie, where there is a steep pass climbing upto 8400+ft. 

It was during this climb, that I was force to slow down and pull over. Suddenly our coolant temperature climbed to 217degrees where the first point of warning would go off. Spending a few minutes, and allowing the heat in the engine compartment and the coolant to drop, we continued on eastward, climbing the 8400+ft pass. 

At this time I choose to remain in 2nd gear, which allowed us to stay at 205degrees F, for the remaining climb up the pass. We had lots of power as we stayed around 1700 RPM, and could easily accelerate, if needed to 2400RPM

It was later on I decided to try and understand, why all of a sudden out temperature started to climb rapidly. The best scenario is, our engine went into a ReGen mode, which raise the exhaust temperature and the compartment temperature climbed. Anyway, we continued on into Nebraska.

We stopped in a small town call Potter, NE. Just east of Kimball. Where we located a small local campground along US Hwy 30, called Point of Rocks Motel and RV Park. Click Here for additional Information.  

Seriously this really is our type of park to stay. 

Ok, continuing our eastward travels, as we arrived at the Rv park, Susan wanted to do another load of laundry, which turn into a fubar. What happen, well the washer would not work, so I call Skip to the rescue. He explained it could possibly be the Door Switch, and proceeded to tell me how to verify. 

Lo and Behold it was, a loose plug on the switch. Now the problem, putting the rubber boot back onto the tank and front panel. You see, I have pulled the wrong side of the boot off, and I was struggling to reinstall it.  In the end I stopped as I was not getting it down, and it was late and tired. I will continue this effort tonight when we stop for the day. 

Now I am either going to get it installed, or head to Lincoln and purchase a new Splendid Washer at Camping World. We'll see what happens. 







So, where are we now, tonight.
Derr Farm - Just outside Beave Crossing NE. 
Dwight and Sharon Tisdale, daughter & son (Andy) in law place.

As soon as we arrived, Dakota was barking to get out of the Rv. She knew where she was at, and she needed to get outside. 

We arrive for the wedding of Kim & Andy Derr's daughter. Which is schedule for July 6th is the wedding. While here, i will use Dwight's shop to make a box, and complete repair on the washing maching.

Safe Travels and Journeys
DaGirls Rv, Gus da Bus
Susan, Tilly, Dakota and me.
