Devil's Tower, and more Wyoming sites

Rather than a blog entry for each stop, this is an entry with LOTS of photos from our travels over the previous months.

DEVIL'S TOWER, WYOMING

Amazing lava dome in NE Wyoming that is left over after years and years of erosion of the topsoil around it.

WYOMING COAL TRAINS

Four tracks with coal cars loaded with coal from the Wyoming coal mines. Two going in each direction. One loaded, one returning empty. All day and night. Over 100 cars each. Amazing production.

AYERS NATURAL BRIDGES

Sweet little park with a natural bridge over a stream and small lake. 

SACAGAWEA GRAVE SITE

When we planned this summer's route, I thought it would be interesting to visit this gravesite. Over the years, we've visited a few memorable grave sites like Shoeless Joe Jackson, Hank Williams Sr., Steve Prefontaine. All of them very moving.

FANTASTIC WYOMING CLOUDS

Every day we had clouds like this....stunning.

WIND RIVER CANYON

We've gone through this canyon before in years past. It's about 25 miles long. But each time we've done it, we're in the motorhome and it's very difficult to pull over to take it all in as well as to take any photos. This time, we travelled in our pickup and took our time. It's really an amazing canyon between Shoshoni and Thermopolis, Wyoming. 

You can see the semi-truck and cars in the distance for scale. 

Some of the rocks here are over a billion years old. This whole area got lifted up around 75 million years ago. Same time as the Rockies were formed. 

We'll try to keep our travels more up to date as we've been to the Big Horn Mountain, Big Horn Canyon, the city of Cody, the Chief Joseph Byway, the Beartooth Highway, Heart Mountain and Yellowstone already. In the meantime, please enjoy this one.

Having a ball. Over 15 years of travel and not tired of it yet.
