We moved from Cheyenne to Casper, Wyoming yesterday, and got into our new campground around noon. We wanted to be off the road early as the weather forecast called for rain and snow beginning in the afternoon. As we approached Casper we saw the snow-covered Laramie Mountains and recognized that winter is not quite over in this area.

Our first afternoon we visited the nearby Edness Wilkins State Park. This is a day use park that is alongside the North Platte River and has a 1.6 mile walking trail. The trees haven't come out yet and there were few birds, but Teri did spot this unusually colored porcupine resting in a tree. We've not seen this yellow color on a porcupine before.

We returned to the trailer just as it started to sprinkle. Here is our trailer on Saturday afternoon.
As predicted, the rain turned into snow overnight, and here is a picture of the trailer on Sunday morning.
We have a 100% chance of snow forecast through this afternoon, with an accumulation of 4 - 6 inches. It has been snowing big, fluffy flakes all morning and shows no sign of letting up. But we're snug and warm and the weather is supposed to be nice again by Monday afternoon.
