CHEYENNE WYOMING TROLLEY TOUR

One Block from the Union Pacific RR Station was the Infamous US 30/ Lincoln Highway.  Gary got our tickets for the city tour by Trolley.  We are doing to tour first and then will go back out and take more pictures.  It is not easy to take pictures from inside the Trolley.

Union Pacific Station

About the Lincoln Highway
Note the last paragraph about the Boy Scouts
project to mark it.

Our trolley and our narrator.

Gary waiting for the tour to begin.

When this housed a bar on the first floor
and a brothel on the second floor
many entered in through the tunnel
going under the street to be incognito!
It is also said that Teddy Roosevelt
would ride his horse through the
front doors straight up to the bar.

Some of the first brick buildings built to
replace the wood structures burned in a fire
that destroyed this area of town.

Interesting, but not as old as the others.

The Governor's Mansion

Bill W. - Gary checked it out!

Oldest school house in Wyoming that is still standing.

Students tour this house many times,
and they refer to it as the pencil house.
Wonder why?

Interesting mansion.

The Capitol Building

Young bull rider who died after
one of his wins!  The bull's horn punctured
his heart as it turn after he was on the
ground.

This is the sculpture that was copied on the
Wyoming license plate.

After our tour, we drove and took the pictures of the train that she had pointed out.  Next we parked to find a restaurant for lunch.  Low and behold we saw that we could also have taken a carriage ride, but do not think that it was as lengthy a tour.

We found Sanford's Grub and Pub and decided to try it out.  The truck fascinated Gary!  The decor and food very interesting and good.  Of course, plenty for left overs at home!

Get busy and order, Gary!

After lunch we went back to the statures to get better pictures and decided to go through the Frontier Days Museum.  They have been holding this in July for 116 years.  I guess it is quite an event and affects the whole town.  It doesn't begin until the 20th and we will be long gone.  They are in the process of setting up the large local artist art displays.  Gary got enough of a peek to take these pictures.  Hope they don't come after him.  Ha-ha!  They way that there will be over a million dollars of art work on display.

Impressive work!
I wouldn't mind being here to attend the rodeos.  Maybe next time.
The many carriages in the museum will be taken out and used in the Frontier Days Parades.

Past Frontier Day items were on display as well as videos to watch.

Other frontier memorabilia also.

Another successful tour and so glad that we took it.
We will do another one in Denver Colorado on Monday.
We also have some visiting to do in the area. So stay tuned.
Today has been a relax day after driving for two and a half hours and setting up home.  I will show you pictures of the park in the next Blog.
We did meet a very nice couple, Tony and Darlene, who are from Loveland CO and use this park for a get away and have done so for sixteen years.  Hopefully, we will get to spend a little more time with them.
