From Big Sky to Big Teats

Big Skies of Wyoming

The drive from Broomfield, CO, to Casper, WY, was less than exciting.  We took the "no highway" option on Google Maps and saw a lot of modern American strip centers, fast food joints, auto repair shops and stop lights.  One night in Casper and off the next day for a drive across the prairies.  Wyoming is justly noted for its Big Skies...it reminded me of West Texas, only greener.  If you're wondering if you should pack all your designer masks for a road trip in the Western US, don't.  Wyoming has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the US, but there is rarely a mask to be seen on anyone other than employees who are obviously required to wear them.  


We only made one stop while crossing the state.  That was at a state sponsored rest stop, one of the cleanest I've ever seen.  It was totally fed by wind and/or sun energy and had clean, flush, paper-free toilets. Yes, we can do it, America!

We were relieved to finally see the peaks of the Grand Tetons in the distance. The mountains were calling us and we had to go.
