9/11, the cowardly attack on America by terrorists happened 19 years ago. Not sure all the blood and treasure spent since then has really changed anything. For one brief moment, Americans were united and stood together...now, not so much. NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET.
Last day here on Hunter Mesa, part of the Bighorn National Forest.
Almost all the snow is gone now and the trail is ready for the URRV to make its way out and down from the mesa and back onto US Highway 16.
The day was cold and cloudy, even though the high was 52°F (11°C). The winds made it feel colder of course, even when the sun peeked out a few times during the day. I spent the day charging up all the batteries to include this time the URRV's chassis battery.
So, I checked with the Boysen State Park reservearmerica.com website and was able to add Saturday to the already reserved Sunday/Monday reservation for the same site.
This led to me breaking outside camp items this evening, as you can see below, all the motorcycles are mounted and the only thing I need to bring inside in the morning is the small generator.
Had a good time here in the Bighorn National Forest, but its time to move to warmer climes.

Hello Dom,
I've been following along on your Wyoming boon-docking in silence. You've been providing an escape for me from the summer heat and melancholy I've been feeling. Perhaps I've been wandering too much among the shrines at the Military Museum and stirring sadness at all the suffering the country and the world has gone through.
Our entry to the 21st century with 9/11 has cost a lot of blood and treasure, and like you, I'm not sure it's changed anything other than make people more fearful. I agree we should never forget. But never forgive -- that's a dark and poisoned path. I forgive others because to not do so will poison my soul. Carrying anger, resentment and hate is toxic. For me anyway.
As you seek warmer climes, I'm grateful the mornings have finally been in the 50s. The riding season begins!
Warm regards,
steve
I was driving through Mimbres, New Mexico this morning when a Ural side hack pulled onto the road behind me. I wondered for a second if it was you, but then I remembered you were in Wyoming the other day and it's unlikely you would be down here in such short time. Besides, this Ural was black.
Damn Urals are getting to be everywhere!
Thanks Steve for the feedback, am camping near Wind River Canyon now but no cell signal there. As to forgiveness, I tend to hold a grudge forever.
Sort of sad to leave the mesa, was a peaceful spot. Glad you were able to came down safely.
Wind River canyon is a special place.enjoy it. Let us know what the country beyond the main road looks like.
The snow pretty much had gone by the time Saturday rolled around, I probably could have skipped all the clearing work I did. Oh well. Wind River Canyon is quite scenic so far CCjon, but not finding much in terms of roads away from the highway. I'll be posting pics of the land south of the canyon if the sun cooperates with nice sunset conditions before I leave on Tuesday!
