Our destination for the night was the Terry Bison Ranch and RV Resort. It is a working ranch established before Wyoming was a state. Historically it was the largest ranch in Wyoming, but has been significantly reduced in size. The stock includes over 3000 head of bison that are raised for slaughter. They have a small herd of seven camels and are the only camel breeders in Wyoming. There are also llamas, alpacas, goats, and wild mustangs. Trail rides and train rides tour the ranch. A restaurant serves cowboy quisine, including buffalo steaks and burgers.
Our plan was to spend two nights at the ranch, taking the train tour out to the bison herd the day after we arrived, then to head out for Utah early Saturday morning. Those plans changed when we discovered a propane leak. Bill fought it all day Friday while I dealt with offers on the condo. Since we missed the train tour Friday, we decided to go on the 9 AM ride Saturday, pull out at noon, and stop somewhere in the middle of Wyoming along I-80.
The train tour was fun. The engineer/tour guide told us the history of the ranch and the area and answered tons of questions. Check out the slide show below.
