Half way there !!

Got to Casper after a beautiful 6 hour drive in time to visit Lou Tauberts Ranch Supply store in old downtown serving homesteaders with goods since 1919. I'm sure a source of supplies for my Dad's (Smitty) parents as he spent most of his young life in this area. Then met up with Bub & Sue at the FireRock steakhouse for a delicious "comfort food" meal. On to the Black Hills to continue the adventure in the morning. Owen is doing very well and now has 3 nagging "wives" to remind him to keep his left arm below his waist. Looking forward to his first real shower in the morning.
