Damn, rub it in, why dontchya  ;D.  I can't take a trip this year, and it's already been too long since I've seen firsthand the sights of the home I've never yet lived in.

I'll try to do this on a regular basis for those whose hearts are in Wyoming but their bodies aren't just yet...  ;D

Also...how was the download speed for the thumbnails?  I can look at alternatives if they took too long...

Yeah, thank you for posting this Manumit. Your efforts are very helpful to folks wondering what scenery is available there. I particularly like the areas where so much greenery abounds. Very nice!
