Wyoming I80
Luckily we had stopped for gas only a few miles before our first Ranch Exit because that was all we saw for nearly the first half of the state. We even started to get nervous that we wouldn't find any sign of human life before we ran out of gas. Aside from some wonderful red and green rock formations when we first entered the state all we saw for what felt like a million miles were sprawling ranch lands. It made me wonder how the crazy cowboys that lived on them maintained them with nothing within a hundred miles of them. I guess it only makes sense that people would be few and far between in the least populated state in the nation.
When we finally reached the first town we were passing through the Rocky's. We were so excited to see people and services it took us a while to notice that the town we were in was just about the creepiest thing we could hope to see on this trip. Their various highlights included a stroll through an old school prison, in which dozens of people died as well as a special viewing of a pair of shoes made out of a dead prisoners skin, that according to them, "have been delighting school children for decades." Right.....what 7 year old wouldn't want to hear about how people were executed and preserved as human leather that you walk on. What?!?!
This place was really pushing it for me and I decided that the best thing to do would be to get gas and get out alive. I'd rather have been stranded on a ranch with no services than here.
The rest of Wyoming continued on in much the same fashion as the rest of the state and we were cheering by the time we saw the state line pop up on the gps screen.
