Day 2 Tour of AFB

So everybody was achey from sitting in the car for over 1o hours on Day 1. Even though it was 44 degrees we thought we needed to stretch our legs before getting in the car again. Joey Boots, Snabby, Stinky Pete and A. Honey went for a walk on the main street of the base. Immediately Boots noticed and became very concerned that there were 2 sidewalks. A big sidewalk next to the buildings (~10 feet wide) and then a smaller sidewalk about 3 feet away and that was about 3 feet wide. For about 5 minutes he shared his feelings on what a waste it was to have 2 sidewalks. Abby and Joe then debated the sidewalk issue intensely. Abby thought one sidewalk could be for walkers and one could be for bikers but Joe dismissed that as why would anyway take walks in Wyoming when it it is so cold. I had to agree with Joe. It was June 3 and only 40some degrees and very windy. Well finally we reached a museum on the base and it was great fun. The base has historical importance which you can research on your own but we tried on old clothes, viewed rooms as they were in the 1900s and were able to view actual missiles. Very cool. Most importantly the docent was able to provide insight to the 2 sidewalk issue. You can ask Joe when you see him why there are 2 sidewalks. We were too cold to walk all the way back so Bop and Jen picked up us. We packed up our suite, visited the BX (base exchange) to buy some warmer clothes and got back in the car for 500 mile drive to Park City, Utah.
