Cheyenne, Wyoming (again)

We are making our way back to Denver.  The last long drive of the vacation took us from Cedar Pass, Badlands, South Dakota to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Jan put our Marriott Rewards Club to work and we are staying in a Town Suite.

The desk area is blog central.  There is a full kitchen off to the right of that.  It also delivers a full size closet, king bed and large bathroom. Nice digs.  

On the way here I added another state to the checkoff list.  Nebraska.  Never been in the state until today.  Acres and acres and acres of farm land.  It also keeps a first rate road system for its motorists.  It is far better than South and North Dakota.  

Our route took us past Wounded Knee.  We stopped.  



Near the sign there are some artisans that are gentle souls trying to eek out a living.  The cemetery and massacre site is up on that hill.  I did not take my camera up there.  It was suggested that doing so is disrespectful but while we were visiting some members of the Lakota Sioux Nation toured and they took pictures.  I suppose it is their memorial.  If they want to take pix and tell me not to do so I am ok with that.

Back on the road after that quick stop and into Cheyenne.  That completes our long driving days.  We had a couple of 5 hour plus driving days.  Today was the last.  Tomorrow we head to Boulder.  It's under two hours away.  Another Marriott property.  Final stop is in Denver near the airport.  

BTW - This Marriott provides a salt water, indoor swimming pool for guests.  Jan is so ready!
