Worland and Ten Sleep

While we were in Worland, we did visit the Washakie Museum:









The museum told about the history of the area and was very interesting.  A few miles east of Worland they still dig every year for old artifacts. 
Another town, Ten Sleep, is about 20 miles east of Worland.  Very scenic going over there:




Hmmm, not sure how this one got in there (Judy)!


Of course, they had a small museum which we checked out:















The small ranching community of Ten Sleep is a true example of western lifestyle. Located at the base of the Big Horn Mountains, the area is rich in fertile soil and waterways which make it perfect for raising cattle and sheep.
Ten Sleep got its name by being ten sleeps (nights) between the Great Sioux Camps and the Platte River to the south, and the northern camp located near Bridger, Mont.

That's it for now...
