Oct 27 Monday Cheyenne
Another sunny day we drove (450 miles) to Cheyenne Walmart. It was a long drive: we went through canyons, up mountains, past forests, to flat country. We saw lots of antelope.
Oct 28 Tuesday Cheyenne and Denver
We are having such great weather we went sightseeing. We looked at the outside of the state capital and Governor’s mansion (which was closed) and 2 museums. Then we drove (120 miles) to near Denver.

Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum
There were many unique carriages including, ambulance, wagon for selling popcorn, Conestoga covered wagon and hearse, etc. There was lots of rodeo memorabilia from the Cheyenne rodeo dating back to 1800’s. We watched a video of scenes from the rodeo that were excellent. There were many beautiful bronze statues and paintings. We bought a nice bronze like ornament of a cowboy scene for Ches.
Wyoming State Museum
There were lots of historical artefacts showing early settler life and Indian life. There was a collection of silver bought almost 100 hundred years ago for $7,500.00. I enjoyed the collection of dolls with period costumes. (couldn't take pictures inside)
