Casper Wyoming

Went to Casper Wyoming to meet Carrie biological father, Randy Brown. We arrived at his house with much anticipation. We walked up through the well manicured lawn to the house rang the bell and waited. Carrie looked confident but I knew she was feeling uneasy,  we rang again... Nobody answered.

We sat in the car for a bit out front. Kind of depressed about how anti-climatic the whole this is turning out. But we had heard of the world famous BearTrap Bluegrass Festival high up in Bear Trap meadow on Casper Mountain aking place that day. It would be the days savior. We took off in Sweet Love to the mountain pass. It was the perfect day for music. We asked everyone we met if they knew Randy Brown and we met several who did. One man sitting right next to us said Randy is a really nice guy who had mounted a fish for him. (I thought- wow what a kinky place this is) Randy was known for his taxidermy shop and his Outfitter/hunting guide skills. His wife Sharon is also in the business. I have traded emails with her and she seems to be quite a scamp. We returned to Randy Brown's house one more time and he was not home after the festival.

We stayed at the Park Plaza Hotel which is connected to the Convention center. Really crappy place. But the festival had a deal for a rooms so we took them up on it. The 60 dollar room was worth $14.50. We both looked forward to getting back to our home the tent.

We left the next morning sad we didnt get to see Randy Brown but happy to be leaving Casper. We did see the Dick Cheney Federal Building though and a building which sign said, ASS.

The brown gentleman is Mike's new walking buddy, "Beartrap Bob."  He's a terrific companion.
