South Central Wyoming

In a state the is so sparsely populated, there is a lot to see! First, Wyoming is one of nine states where there are more cows than people. Deer wander fields and yards like squirrels do in the midwest. Mountain snow melt supports many species of fish while supplying a lot of hydroelectric power. A calm wind can turn into a 45 mph gust in an instant. We have travelled as many miles on two lanes as we have on interstates. Rawlins is a nice small town near the Hot Springs in Saratoga, the most modern oil refinery in Sinclair, and Seminoe State Park just to the north. In Casper, we visited the Devil’s Half Acre, an interesting collection of geologic formations. This place was where the movie ‘Starship Troopers’ was filmed. We hiked atop Casper Mountain and stopped on the way down to see Casper spread out below us.
