I don’t remember that we went to the Chuckwagon Breakfast (although it sounds like my kind of grub). We probably had breakfast at the campground that morning, right out of the Kel bowl pak as usual.

Happily, the store is still there at 1518 Capitol Avenue and looking good, too. Wish I could amble in there right now.

Remember the ad for The Wrangler with the cartoon cowboy tycoon? Here’s a vintage photo of the store from about that time.

Western Ranchman Outfitters, the other iconic Cheyenne store with an ad in the program, did a lot of advertising. It’s not hard to rustle up old postcards, matchbooks and catalogs of the place on Bay.
It later became known as Cheyenne Outfitters and primarily did mail order. Sadly, it closed in 1998.
