On day 9 we got up, had breakfast and coffee, packed up the
trailer, and headed to Ranchester.  This was a fairly long haul
across long stretches of Wyoming.  The Wind River Range was
gorgeous and then we got to go through the Wind River Canyon
again.  As we headed east I said goodbye to the mountains in my
rear view mirror...

But it was premature.  The approach and climb up into the Bighorns
on US 14 was pretty gnarly, at least it got my attention!  Then we
had periodic cliffs and drop-offs on each side, concluded by a
decent that was at least as hairy as the climb.  There were
multiple warning signs to truckers, with one switchback in
particular stated as having had multiple deaths.

The Lazy R CG was okay, but nothing to write home about.  It had a
sewer hookup at the site, but it was under a board so I didn’t
mess with it.  A nice finding was that I was able to reset the
original GFCI outlet, yay!  On reflection, I’d gotten an error
signal for a bit with my circuit tester when I first plugged it in
at the previous site, so I think something was wrong with its
setup.  In any case, I had no more problems with the trailer
circuits.
