We left Colorado this morning quite early; I’m glad to leave the snow and ice behind, although by this morning the majority of it had melted, there was just some patches left throughout the park. We headed north through the Mile High City and crossed the border into Wyoming.



Wyoming is just as pretty as I remember with lots of rolling green hills against the backdrop of the Rockies. We didn’t have too far to drive to get to Cheyenne, and we arrived at the RV dealership a little after 11 to find our new fifth wheel waiting patiently for us. Rich, the owner who Mike has been dealing with wasn’t there when we arrived so we took a little time to check out our new home – it looks just like all the other Cougar 327’s that we’ve seen, just in a slightly different colour.
When Rick arrived we got down to business, we checked out the fifth wheel and he checked out our trailer, and everyone seemed to be happy with what they were getting. We had already stopped on the way to Cheyenne to get a cashiers check from the bank so we just got down to the paperwork. I didn’t take very long at all, I think they’ve done it all before, and within about half an hour it was all taken care of. We decided at that point to get some food and go mail our paperwork to Montana before we got down to the fun part, moving everything from the trailer to the fifth wheel.
It actually took us most of the afternoon to get everything transferred (it’s amazing how much stuff we have even after emptying much of it into storage), but nowhere near as long as we had anticipated. We figured it would take us today and at least half of tomorrow, but now we’ll be able to take off to South Dakota in the morning. Once we got everything out of the trailer the guys at the dealership came with a tractor and moved here to a spot on the lot; it was quite emotional to see her been driven away, we’ve had a good time in her over the last couple of years. The guys showed Mike how to hook up and unhook the trailer and I hope he was paying really good attention as I haven’t got a clue.
We spent a few hours this evening putting everything away ready to travel tomorrow; it’s going to take a little while to find a home for all our things, but at least we have plenty of room to put everything.
We are spending tonight on the dealership lot, we have electricity and one of the guys here put some water in our tanks so we have a little fresh water. Not ideal as it would be really nice to take a shower, but being able to sleep in a full size bed without having to climb over Mike to get in will be a treat.

Mike: Bye,Bye my little trailer, I'll miss you! sob-sob!
