BUFFALO, WY.  This morning began with an 8:00 am free breakfast at the KOA buffet.  Really good.  Then we were surprised to find that our hydraulic slideouts would not come in for driving away on today's caravan ride.  We experienced once again the advantage of being on a tour with so many knowledgeable RVers.  A couple men came into our motorhome and showed me how to reset the electrical system so that the electric motor that pressurizes the hydraulics for the slides again did its job so that the hydraulic slides came in perfectly.  What a relief!

Apparently we got off Scot free last year, since nothing mechanical went wrong.

Before leaving the Devils Tower KOA, I went to the edge of the RV park to capture their nice view of the tower with the forest in the foreground.

 Once we got going, we stopped in Gillette, WY to fuel up at a truck stop and stop at the Walmart for everyone to do some shopping.  Parking so many motorhomes pulling cars behind them in a Walmart parking lot was truly interesting.  After that we returned to the truck stop to park, since it was across the street from the Walgreens where I picked up a refill.  Most of the others had continued on their way to the RV park in Buffalo.  After Walgreens we headed to the Cummuns dealer to get certain replacement parts to carry in the event of another emergency.  That took quite a while, since the place we should have gone to was a Freightliner dealer instead.  Long story.  We eventually got what we needed at the Cummins place and continued on our way to Buffalo to join the others.

Tomorrow we shall car pool our way to the battlefield of The Little Big Horn.  This tour does not use buses to route us to these places, as last year's tour did, but rather has us car pool and ride more comfortably than any bus ride would be.
