Woke up to Kelly's famous grits & eggs, with bacon and toast. Then I helped Robbie get the boat ready, as we were to be treated with a day out on Alcova Lake! We packed lunches, got the fishing gear, and drove maybe 45 minutes out to the lake, put the boat in the water, and we were off! Although the lake is a popular attraction, there are plenty of natural wonders, from ducks and geese and gulls, to deer and fish. The rock formations are unlike any I've seen in my native New England, with numerous and multicolored layers that provide a sense of the geologic age of this place. Robbie and I got our fishing lines wet, but didn't catch any. Still, it was a beautiful day on the lake!
I had an afternoon treat when Robbie brought me to his friend Sam's place, and I got to see some of his project cars. You can see some of what saw on Sam's YouTube. We finished our visit to Casper with a family spaghetti dinner at Kelly & Robbie's before heading off to Gillette the next morning.
Until the next post (from Gillette, Wyoming,) here's a picture Tricia took from the boat in Alcova Lake:
