Unexpected delay

We said our goodbyes July 19, Saturday morning. We left Lusk heading to Thermopolis, Wy. What a beautiful drive. As we were driving through Wind River Canyon, our new Pressure Pro (tire air pressure monitor) alerted us to a problem on a truck tire. We pulled over in Boyson State Park and discovered the brakes on one side of the truck had caused an overheating, so we found a site and set up camp. No cell, tv or internet service and no electricity, but the campground scenery was magnificent. Saturday and Sunday were days of rest which we apparently needed. Our muscles were sore after two weeks of physical labor. The campground was on a silt build up behind an old dam which had been demolished and rebuilt upstream. You could see two car tunnels and two train tunnels along the river near the campsite. We had hope to see some big horn sheep or deer which occasionally come down to get water, but no such luck. Today, we arrived in Riverton without the 5th wheel to get the brakes checked. The shop could not get us in until tomorrow so we are staying in a Comfort Inn for the night. We killed some time in Wal-Mart before check in at 2:00. We couldn't do sight seeing in the area due to the brake problem. We have air conditioning, cell and internet service today.
