30 miles today in the Sheridan area. We went to the Brinton museum which was wonderful. It consists of a beautiful ranch house and a modern museum building holding wonderful Indian artifacts and Western art. Among the many Indian items was a painted war shirt listed as one of Wyoming's top 10 treasures. Remingtons, Russells, Audubon prints and many other top notch artists. We had lunch in the bistro: gormet seared tuna, salad with avocado and a delicious horse radish sauce. Melt in your mouth good.
We toured the ranch house built at the turn of the century. The owner ran a farm implement company that became Case which he managed.  He was incredibly rich and bought the best of the best and happily for us left it to be seen by the public.
We then went to downtown Sheridan and visited some  shops.
We woke up this morning to at least 4 inches of snow and are glad it is melting off. The mountains have appeared this evening again. A relief as we plan to drive over them to Cody tomorrow.
