Trek to Wyoming and oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have time until we report to Bryce so the decision was made to explore Wyoming.  It is a lovely state with lots of history, especially the Mormon, California and Oregon Trail history.  It is absolutely beautiful in southwestern Utah entering Wyoming on I-80.  We visited Fort Bridger just over the border and spent a pleasant afternoon learning about the trails and the old fort.  The 3 trails intersected at Ft. Bridger and famed mountain man Jim Bridger had a trading post previously.  This is west of the Rocky's.  We climbed over the Rocky's and into high plains staying at Curt Goudy State Park (8,600 feet) for a few days of peaceful high mountain meadows watching a clear cold lake.  People were water skiing, fishing and having summer fun.

We were perched on a hill above the lake and our view from our chairs was wonderful.  Wild flowers everywhere, grass, mountains, and water -- what a combination!!!!  Then I woke up with dizziness, a very sore neck, and beginning disorientation.  So leaving Curt Goudy we headed down from the high desert and into flatter country on the eastern side of the Rocky's.  So our plans are now to head east instead of north entering Nebraska.  See if I feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
