Casper, Wyoming Arrival – and Departure
Hello – and goodbye – from Casper, Wyoming.
The mules and I arrived in Casper Tuesday evening. We hope to set out toward Muddy Gap today.
Muddy Gap’s sort of a misnomer given that it’s smack in in the middle of Wyoming’s best dusty dry land. The good news is we’re traveling along the Platte River for a good portion of the run there.

Hi Ji Liong,
So good hearing from you.
I will always remember those purple energy candies you gave me. They were amazing and kept me walking through some mighty cold weather.
I hope you’re settling in well back home. I can imagine it’s a big change from New Jersey and pedaling across America.
If I ever take a mule trip across Indonesia, I’ll have at least person I know there!
I sure appreciate your contacting me with an update.
All the best and keep in touch.

So glad to learn you made it to Independence Rock today. There is good shelter there for the night! I agree with Christian about your great photos—especially the moon shot! Really enjoying your posts about your travels through Wyoming.
Hey, Bernie! We’re going to be at the A Bar A next week. Don’t know where you’ll be by then, but it would be great to get together.
Hi guys! In my Fantasy Mule Route Planning my trip would have taken me by A Bar A but the Gods of Rhumb Route Mule Travel steered me toward Independence Rock (where I’m camped right now, Sunday, September 8). From here I hope to head toward Muddy Junction and then turn west toward Sweet Water and Lander.
Let me know if the Gods of Whim steer you up our way!
Have a great visit.

So much fine photography! I particularly like the moon above the silhouette of the cottonwood tree… The best camera is the one you have when you need it. From there, its just a matter of keeping your eyes and mind open.
Look forward to more!

Hey thanks for the kind words Christian. This last batch of pics are straight off the camera. The camera with the shattered screen. The best camera in the world because…it was in my pocket! Sure helps to be in a part of the world where it’s hard to take a bad photo…
Cheers.
Bernie
