East to Idaho and Wyoming

When we left Sisters, we had a long travel day. We stopped for lunch at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

After that we drove to Malheur County Fairgrounds near Ontario, Oregon.

When we got ready to leave, we saw a hitchhiker on the rim of our front tire. No, the picture isn't upside down, that how the praying mantis was sitting on the tire.

 Once he was off, we continued on down the highway. 

Our next stop was Mountain Home AFB. We decided to stay there for several days. We did some geocaching and went bowling. The site was nice, the campground had just been renovated with concrete pads and new paved roads.

One of the caches we found was named "yabba dabba do!" I wonder why?

Yes, that is the Flintstones under that rock ledge near the highway.

We also explored the Birds of Prey Conservation Area, but we didn't see any unusual birds. We did find the caches located near this sign. Also in the area was a nice BLM  campground.

Once we left Mountain Home, we wanted to stop near Fossil Butte National Monument, but there were no campgrounds nearby. So after a quick visit, we were on our way again.

We stopped for the  night at Little America in western  Wyoming. They had plenty of parking for RVs, separate from the truckstop. Of course, no stop at Little America is complete unless you get one of their $.75 ice cream cones. Bob and I each got chocolate.

The following day, we drove across Wyoming to Cheyenne--F. E. Warren AFB was our home for the next few days.
