Wyoming Drives--A Photo Thread
« on: April 23, 2010, 09:55:08 PM »
Mostly along the old Oregon Trail & Pony Express Routes...
Lander to Bondurant--Friday, April 23rd 2010...
Highways:  Wyoming 28 to Wyoming 372 to US 189
The route & satellite photo is here in Yahoo! Maps...
Click the thumbnails to enlarge the pics in a new tab/window...

Barns along Wyoming 28 south of Lander...


Little Popo Agie River filled with snowmelt & greening pastures...




Valley east of Wyoming 28...


Red Canyon on the way up to South Pass...






South Pass run...30 degrees and blowing hard...










On the west side and going down...


Opening into the sage...




Continental Divide--7550 ft.




Sun & Signs around Farson...




Wyoming Blue Sky near Fontenelle Reservoir...southern Green River Valley.




Wind River Range on the horizon...the reason the crossing is at South Pass ; )


Sunset ending a perfect Wyoming day...

Manumit,

Thanks for giving us outsiders a "window in".

Nicely done and much appreciated.

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...

Jackson down to Daniel Wyoming (where the camera ran out of battery  :'()
Just over one hour;  68 miles (Yahoo! Maps course here)
Weather:  Rainy--55 deg.
(Sorry that some shots focused on the raindrops, but most are cool.)
















































The ONLY stoplight in a county of 5,000 sq. mi. is for 1/4 mile of construction...























ONE room schoolhouse!!  Looking for a new teacher BTW...



























Green River...Free Campgrounds all along on the bank behind this shot...the one you see is BLM run and costs $12/night for pit toilet & drinking water....

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!
