Day 23 September 20, 2025 Douglas Wyoming to Dubois Wyoming 272 miles
Shortly after leaving town we saw a rather large herd of animals in the distance. They didn’t look like cows, deer, antelope or elk. Much further down the road we saw a smaller herd of the same animal. They were domestic sheep! A ram had its head up. He had large curled horns.
We also saw a lone antelope and later a couple of small herds. They don’t seem too bothered by the traffic.
More of the 307 metal work was along the way. A couple were on fences of private property and others were out in the open. Remember 307 is the area code for Wyoming.
We stopped for lunch in Shoshoni Wyoming at the gas station. That is the only place to eat in town. They do pizzas, burgers, subs, salads and other goodies. We split a foot long sub. While we were eating a lady came in with a pet raccoon on her shoulders. Another lady came up to her and petted the raccoon. That was a first.
The terrain is much more colorful and interesting. Finally got out of the corn and soy beans. No more sand hills either.
We filled the car with gas and stopped at the grocery store for salad mix in Dubois. Our lodging is in a cabin out of Dubois. A few miles out of town we turned off the highway onto a dirt road. We drove five miles on a good gravel road that twisted and turned its way up the mountain. Several switch back turns kept us from going very fast. Numerous big log homes are all along the road. We finally got to Crooked Creek Cabins. Quite a complex. They have a restaurant, RV park, rental cabins and rental outdoor equipment. The cabins are made of logs with metal roofs. They must have different configurations because they aren’t all the same size. The restaurant seems busy and four wheelers are driving all over.
