We’ve seen it in the movies. Now let’s see if it’s true!

August 8
Well we thought we’d seen some stunning scenery yesterday but the drive over the Snowy Range this morning was something else. We stopped so many times to gaze in wonder we did indeed wonder – whether we’d ever get to Casper. We’d take a bend and I’d gasp so loud Steve thought he’d hit a critter but, no, it was just another stunning view the size of England. Here are just a few of our photos.
Then we did a detour to visit the Wyoming Frontier Prison in Rawlins which was open from 1901 to 1981. We were taken around by a 15 year old guide and her 9 year old cousin. Some pics are here.
Steve said, “If I was born in Rawlins I’d be making plans to leave home as soon as I could walk.” But we saw a real live cowboy with his hat, boots and spurs walking down Main Street talking on his mobile so that made it all worthwhile before we left town. The sat nav told us to turn right in 113 miles.
