Today was the second travel day in a row. We generally do not make overnight stops but, since there is nothing in Lusk and we knew it, we jumped back on US-18 which turns due west from Lusk. After about 50 miles through some quite pretty Wyoming landscape full of pronghorn antelope, we hit I-25 and continued mostly west toward Casper. We must have spotted hundreds of pronghorn along the way. They are strikingly beautiful animals.
About another 50 miles down the road, we pulled into the Casper East RV Park in, not surprisingly, in Casper. When we pulled into the park it looked okay with nice landscaping and plentiful trees offering shade. Unfortunately, we were assigned a site in a treeless gravel parking lot sandwiched between I-25 and Burlington Northern railroad tracks. Many trains use the tracks and a nearby grade crossing makes train horn blasts a regular occurrence. I-25 is heavily utilized by semi trucks but there are no steep downhill grades so we have been spared the deafening racket from Jake brakes. In order to sleep here, it seems pretty plain drunkenness will be required in the evening.
