ARAPAHOE, WYOMING

Today I decided to take a jaunt on my moped. Cindy is traveling back from Minnesota so I am by myself. It is a beautiful day so an adventure seemed in order.

I filled the tank, packed water, and headed off on my adventure. I have heard people talk about St. Stephen Mission school and Arapahoe so I decided to ride out there. I figured once in Arapahoe I could stop at a cafe and get a soda or something.

Well off I went. It was great. Traffic wasn't too bad and the road was great so I wasn't too worried. I drove out unto the Wind River Reservation and passed ranches and trailer homes. Poverty seems evident everywhere. Parts of what I saw was rather pretty.

I drove and drove all the while looking for Arapahoe. I never did find it. I found the school and St. Stephen's Mission school but no Arapahoe.

I put on roughly 20 miles and came home with tired legs and a bit of a sore butt.

I googled Arapahoe once home and discovered there is no town of Arapahoe. It is a geographical area within the reservation with two schools which I saw. So it ended up being an adventure and s learning experience as well.
