Day two in the middle of nowhere

Next morning, we headed straight out to the property before the sun was even up.  We found the "driveway" -our little dirt road- with only a little difficulty and got right to work unloading all of our junk and half-ass sorting it out.



We got a path dug out amongst the sagebrush and prickly pear cactus and got started clearing a spot for the cabin - a pyramid, no boring square for us!



After a couple of hours we had done all we could do with getting set up and decided to head into town to get some of the stuff we had planned on getting in Rawlins, like concrete, blocks for the fire pit, food and sprayfoam.

We went back out and spent the rest of the day just digging out holes for the tires that became the foundation for the pyramid.  We barely got the corners on before we ran out of light and had to set up the tent inside the bottom half of the pyramid.  It ended up being rather cozy, even without full walls or a roof.



Dinner was shish kabobs over the fire and Damn were they Tasty!

We were sore, tired and dirty, but we did a sponge bath and settled in to sleep.  Well, as much as one can sleep with the wind, cold, critters, imagination, plans for the next day and general discomfort of camping.
