Doing a Wild West road trip?\u00a0 If so, consider adding Sheridan, WY<\/a> as one of your stops along the way.\u00a0 We did just that recently, stopping here between Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore.\u00a0 It\u2019s perfectly located about half-way between.<\/p>\n

Sheridan, WY<\/h1>\n

Our first matter of business was to grab some lunch as we left Yellowstone early without taking time for breakfast.\u00a0 Luckily, we landed in Frackelton\u2019s Fine Food & Spirits<\/a>.\u00a0 It was drizzling outside but quite warm and friendly inside.\u00a0 Great staff made us feel quite at home and brought some great drinks while we perused the menu.<\/p>\n

Hadn’t had corn beef for a while, so I opted for the Reuben.\u00a0 Perfectly toasted bread and a good-sized serving of corn beef made a great sandwich.\u00a0 The French Fries were outstanding as well.\u00a0 Luckily the rain stopped by the time we finished, or I might have wanted to spend the afternoon there.<\/p>\n

Luckily the clouds broke soon enough to keep an appointment I\u2019d made with Out West Segways Tours<\/span>, close by, also on Main Street.\u00a0 This had been on my bucket list for too long and I was really anxious to master the art of riding a Segway.<\/p>\n

Met Gina at their storefront and got an introductory riding lesson in their back room.\u00a0 Literally, in 10 or 15 minutes, I felt like I had pretty good control and we were off, out into the city streets.<\/p>\n

They offer a variety of tours in direction and in length, and tours go out three times a day: 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

Sheridan should be better known for its beautiful bikeways.\u00a0 They have over 13 miles of them, connecting some fabulous parks and points of interest. On a Segway, without even speeding, you can see twice as much in half the time.\u00a0 It\u2019s a truly wonderful way to sight-see.<\/p>\n

I wanted to take pictures as I went, so I was curious as to whether I would have to dismount each time to hold my camera steady. Turns out I didn\u2019t, the Segway would balance pretty still most of the time.<\/p>\n
