I did part of my growing up in Wray Colorado. It’s on the plains and we could see both Nebraska and Kansas from the farm. I knew that it may have changed in 65 years but I didn’t realize how much.
I stopped at the police station in town and asked about camping. They told me to use the local city park, and that it was safe … and because I was there they would have more frequent patrols. It was beautiful.
It rained all night and in the morning when I awoke one of the joggers going through the park was our old neighbor, who had moved to town. He suggested checking with the Yuma County Court House about a deed.
My Dad had inherited land from his mother. I am now part owner of 1400 acres of Colorado grazing land.
We were in Sioux City and it had been a long day and we were ready for bed. Unfortunately there was a convention in town and hotel rooms were not readily available.
We were directed to a downtown hotel with the understanding that it had been very classy IN ITS DAY.
They had rooms and we checked in, then asked where we could safely leave the bikes. The night manager asked if they leaked oil. We said they were all Hondas and never leaked. His response was ‘Bring’m in here’. All 5 bikes fit easily in the huge lobby and we used hotel towels so that we wouldn’t mar the real wood floors.
Next morning the day manager was most upset, and our friend was now an ex-employee.
It was dark, cold and rainy in the road construction around Sheridan Wyo. I finally found a motel & pulled in. Because of the construction crews and travelers no room was available. They said it wound be OK to open up my motorcycle camper BEHIND THE BUILDING & BE GONE BEFORE DAY SHIFT CAME IN AT 07:00. The all-night rain stopped at 06:00.
