Today was resupply day, so I got to take a trip into town, where we could get groceries, water, and ice. A side benefit of this is that I got a shower.
I also got an amazing lunch at Aud’s Bar and Grill.
And nearly as great as enjoying air conditioning, I also got to do some laundry (but I had to air dry my clothes).
After dinner, nearly everyone in camp, including me, took a little drive to see the sights. Our first stop was Armpit, an old mining camp that is now frequented by cavers.
We saw a one-horned bighorn sheep.
We stopped at an overlook of Bighorn Canyon.
Then we drove down to the openings to two popular caves in the area, Bighorn Caverns…
… Followed by the the opening to Horsethief Cave.
… Where apparently radon levels are high.
We met a couple of rattlesnakes while there.
The day ended like any other in Wyoming, with a beautiful sunset.
Tomorrow I go back into the cave. Let’s see what everyone has dug up!
