Saturday morning, June 24.
It's Saturday, so it must be bagels.....in Wyoming? The grapevine indicated that there was a bagel place downtown called Mort's, so we headed into town to try them out. Great bagels! Unfortunately they weren't open on Sunday, so this was our only opportunity.
After breakfast we drove to Holliday Park to see Engine #4004, one of three remaining Big Boys still in existence. The engine is HUGE! We had also seen one in Green Bay, Wisconsin last year. From there we went to the Cheyenne Union Pacific Depot which was built in 1888 and renovated in 2004. It now houses a restaurant, a Visitor's Center, Gift shop and Railroad Museum. The railroad museum was very well done, and included an observation deck where one could sit and watch the trains and the work in the rail yard.
We had seen on tv that there was a book sale going on at the Cheyenne Library, so when we were finished with our rail depot, we headed there. The books were CHEAP! 20 cents per book. We got 10 books between us. What a bargain!
No visit to Cheyenne is complete without a visit to a western store. Jack was looking for work boots, and I wasn't looking....but ended up buying a new pair of boots. Jack couldn't find what he was looking for.
Tomorrow is travel day - heading for an overnight in Rawlins, WY before heading on to Utah.
