Haircuts and Local Stuff

As mentioned yesterday, Josie and I got our hair cut by a pair of fellow workampers that have hairdressing experience. Don gave me a hircut and Jan cut Josie's. It only took a short time and we are both satisfied with the cuts - and the total cost was $10. We hope they don't leave before we do.

The rest of the morning was spent driving to the Vistors Center in town to try and find a special brochure on the Bighorn Canyon that we had seen on board our trip a few days ago and then to McDonald's for a quick lunch. I have really gotten to like their new Frappe's and Josie likes the new Smoothie's, so McDonalds may become a regular stop for those.

There is another neat business that is owned by the Blairs, the owners of our Village, the Holiday Inn and the Comfort Inn, called the Dude Ranch at Ucross, which is a small town in Eastern Wyoming that takes about three hours to get to. Several of the workampers here have gone there and have raved about the place. It is a real dude ranch with ranchhouse, horse rides, swimming pool and the whole dude ranch experience. It is free to us except for a flat fee for meals and board which is a fraction of the total cost to others. We have been talking with Karen and George about the possibility of scheduling a couple days to go there in the near future.

Today is day 4 of our work week, so it will be another short day for free time. We are thinking that we probably will do a trip to Billings on Thursday to go to Costco and stock up on some things we need, and to check out the town in general. More later...
