Day 3 of the Adventure!
I LOVE airstreams -- just couldn't resist.
The BIG event today was the
visit to The Sheep Shed Studio in Encampment, Wyoming. Just a short 90 minute trek ou
tside of Laramie and we were there. Lou was supposed to be in charge of the camera and he dropped the ball! But if we go back there on the way home, he promises to make it up to me.
Carol and her husband have a HOUSE FULL of roving and yarn from the Brown Sheep yarn company. I didn't know what to look at first. Picture a kid in a candy store, with an indulgent parent that says, "get whatever you want, honey" I picked out undyed superwash roving, dyed roving, dyed and undyed mohair, and some WILD yellow superwash roving to make Lo
u socks that will look cool with his crocs (the guy is NUTS). They also had a ton of yarn, so naturally, I bought enough sock yarn to do a dozen pairs of socks. I'm definately gonna go back and get some more colors.
Wyoming, Utah and Nevada are pretty wind blown and dry. This might account for the lack of trees and vegetation. I could not get over the strength of the wind in Wyoming. Roofers must be busier than one armed paper hangers! Siding doesn't fair too well either. There is only one type of house construction for this environment, log homes with steel roofs. THAT might just holdup. You gotta watch it when you open your car door, or you might just lose it. I just could not understand why we didn't see any of those huge wind mills -- well they showed up on the hillsides just near the Wyoming/Utah border. I'm tellin ya --put em everywhere in Wyoming and Nebraska and we'll be able to power the entire west coast and mid west!
