This would be our last day in Cody. Our itinerary for the day was to visit the Old Trail Town, go to the Rodeo, and thank our hosts by taking them our for a steak dinner. We got up and started reasonably early. We had another great breakfast and made it to the Old Trail Town sometime during mid-mor…

We packed up our camp and headed to the Tower.  Devils Tower is volcanic in nature, the theory is that hundreds of thousands of years ago, magma welled up inside a soft mountain, and over the eons the mountain eroded away, leaving the hardened tower we see today.   We stopped at the …

I'm sitting in a motel room in Evanston, Wyoming. The buffalo heads that greet motel patrons are a bit on the creepy side, but I'm happy to be here. It's 11:15 P.M. Mountain time. I'm utterly exhausted. It's been a loooong day on the road. I'm ready to take a hot shower and climb under the sheets…

     Got up today and headed out to have a look around Cody. We had decided that we wanted to take the Cody Trolley Tour. I’m sure there are some out there who think that’s oh so "touristy" but for me if I think a town/city has a cool history or I’d like to learn more abou…

I have vivid memories of Devils Tower from my early childhood! I remember clearly running through the tower trail through the boulders to find my mother, I remember sitting at the cafe near the entrance if the park with my family reading a Native American legend about how the tower came into existe…

Got up at 6:00am and headed north to Livingston, Montana. Stopped by McDonalds for a quick breakfast and got on I-90 East. Our first stop on our trip is Devils Tower, Wyoming. It was 31 miles from I-90. A beautiful drive and lots of animals to see. For instance, horses, cows, antelope, and deer. We…

Family Thanksgiving trip to Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana. Would have gone to Yellowstone... but it's closed during the winter!

My trips to Wyoming are amazing. My mother lives there so I know all the hot spots. I actually plan on going back at the end of this month. The best time to go is at the end of this month when they have Cheyenne Fontier Days. Its a huge rodeo with lots of drinking and good times. It's very beautifu…

Spring break with my friends in Jackson

Post cards from 44 of the 50 States.

After our break in Cheyenne, it was an uneventful trip to Devil's Tower. It had been raining when we started out that morning, but by the Wyoming border that was a memory. As we got close to the tower I kept waiting for it to appear. It would an then would hide behind another hill. We were right on…

Even though I couldn't make it to Devil's Tower before sunset, I wasn't worried. I had my tripod in the car and the waning sun could still provide enough light if I just held my camera shutter open manually. It wasn't until after I drove the extra 30 miles to the tower, accepted the fact that NO ON…

We had to meet at 7:15 am for an 8 hour raft trip down the Snake River just south of Jackson WY.  There were 12 of us and a guide (Chris Walker) on the raft and it was a beautiful (and warm) morning.  The first four hours were gentle scenery and a chance for all of us to learn to paddle t…

Went to Jackson Hole to get away from where the Blackberry works. Unfortunately technology has caught up and it works here.

Now on to a National Park Service Site, Fort Laramie is a few more miles down the road.  All three of these sites are right along the Platte River.  This one looks like a lot more from a distance.  You can see some ruins of prior buildings and then a couple that are still standing, w…
