Our plan for the day was a short jump to Boysen State Park on a large lake in central Wyoming, but it turned out not to be that simple. When i dumped the waste water holding tanks there was a bad leak in the valve which controls "grey water", i.e. dish and bath water.
Following a tip from the campground we broke camp and towed the trailer the shop of the only RV service outfit in the small town of Rawlins, waiting our turn in a freezing mix of rain and snow. They didn't have the replacement valve part but they did a temporary fix to get us on the road. We called ahead to the larger town of Riverton to set up service there, and drove through rain and snow which obscured
some of the good scenery, with the temperature hovering above freezing. The shop at Riverton did a good and quick job replacing the valve for us and we were finally able to head for Boysen State Park, another 50 miles down the road. Our campground was in the remote Wind River Canyon which runs 15 miles with sheer cliffs of about 1500' on each side. We camped alongside a beautiful river.
in the morning we sought out a cell signal to prepare for Wednesday's scheduled video appt with S's neurologist, and spent the rest of the day exploring the canyon and shopping in the next town north, Thermopolis, which boasts a sulphur hot spring in which we did not bathe.
