The Bunkhouse is on Happy Jack Road between Cheyenne and Laramie. I had heard about this little gem of a hole in the wall before, but hadn't been there.
The Europeans (and me) got a kick out of the saddles, wildlife mounts, farm tools, and other junk on the walls. They have great steak, sentiments the Brits reiterated, and apparently there is a band at 7 p.m. every Friday and Saturday night. Talk about hook, line and sinker... I'm caught.
I've heard people like to stop here on their way back from Cowboys games in Laramie, which I will definitely now have to do.
I ended up talking to the owner for a bit and learned the Bunkhouse first opened in 1959. The owner told me the place gets an eclectic crowd and sometimes there'll even be horses hitched out front.
I *do* love places like this!
And...just 'cause. A pretty Wyoming sunset taken from the parking lot of the 'Bunk:
I miss those Wyoming/Western sunsets. :(
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Kelly. I got a good picture the last time I drove to Omaha, too, of the sunset. I remember watching the sunsets off our deck in Gillette...also watching lightening storms come in over the Big Horns from our Gillette house.
