We stopped for lunch at Dead Indian Campground. The sky was starting to cloud at the upper elevations, but the empty campground was a good place to picnic.
After we left the campground, the clouds settled in even more. By the time we reached Dead Indian Pass, we couldn't see the surrounding area!
We continued on to Powell, Wyoming where we spent the night in the city park (free) with no hook-ups.

We continued on to Powell, Wyoming where we spent the night in the city park (free) with no hook-ups. Our travels took us eastward through Wyoming. We investigated which route to take over the next mountains and decided on US 16. Once again, the clouds moved in as we rose in elevation. We began to wonder what was ahead of us when a snowplow passed! He was checking to see if there was accumulation! Thankfully, there wasn't any, but the snow made a good picture. (If you remember, we drove through Wyoming in May and it snowed!)
We finally cleared Powder River Pass which was about 1000 feet higher than Dead Indian Pass.
As we descended into the valley it was time to think about a place to stay. After filling the rv in Gillette we continued a bit further to Keyhole State Park.

The park was located on a large reservoir. It would make a good base for exploring northeast Wyoming. We planned to stay 2 nights. Pronghorn antelope were everywhere in Wyoming.
