We got into Cheyenne, WY on Thursday and got settled. Friday we went to Frontier Park for part of Cheyenne Frontier Days. This is supposed to be the largest out door rodeo anywhere. It actually goes by the slogan "Daddy of 'em all". We checked out the grounds and found it to be a very festive fair. Lots of great food that is bad for you. Lots of vendors selling wares that you will only see at a fair of some sort. We had a little food then went to the arena for the concert. Styx was fantastic. Very high energy, the crowd singing along, some great guitar and key board. Just wonderful.
Journey came out after a long intermission and cranked up the volume. So much so that even with my poor hearing the volume was physically painful. Diana agreed and about 20 minutes into the show we left. The good news is from out side the arena and while still in the park with all the festivities the band sounded great. Just too much volume when we were inside.
We had taken the shuttle from the campground and were told to meet the driver at the same place he dropped us off after the concert. We got there maybe 10 minutes after the show ended and waited. And waited, and waited. Finally about midnight a van pulled up and 2 women hung a hand made sign out the window offering cab service for $10. There were 2 young women that were not with us but were waiting for a ride near us and all four of us jumped into this van. The 2 women passengers asked to be taken to a local bar. They were under the miss-impression that they were not drunk enough. So we drop them off and our 2 "cabbies" ask where we are going and they brought us to the campground with no problem. They were very nice young ladies and I told them I respected their entrepreneurial spirit.
The next day I asked in the office what happened to the van. They said he was there and brought 20 people back from the concert. I am not sure how we missed it but the "cabbies" were nice.
