July 21,2008 Tires and Jewel Cave

The last few days we were resting up and cleaning the motorhome so no blog. Today we left Hart Ranch and before going to far we had to make a stop at the tire store. Well it turns out we had to put on 4 new tires. We had bought a new one for the spare in May and the other tires seemed to be in good shape. As it turned out we spent $1212. on three new tires and had the 4th also mounted.Ouch that hurt. Well we should be good for awhile.We left the tire store and stopped at Jewel Cave.

Jewel Cave is the 2nd longest cave in the U.S.and in the world. This seems to be a very popular cave to visit.There are usually waiting lines in the summer months to take the tours. One of the tours that is popular is the lantern tour and hard to get tickets for and one other for the more adventurous is the 4 hour spelunking tour.

After we left the cave we continued on and ended up spending the night in Douglas,Wy. at Riverside city park. We pulled up and parked along the fence. There was no one here and it was free.This park is along the Platte River and a good overnight stop.
