Run Away Truck Prevention
Bighorn National Forest, WY, May 2025 On the drive into Bighorn National Forest, we saw this odd concrete corral that looked like excessive protection for a scenic view. As we drove by, John saw a sign with something about trucks, and he deduced it was a run away truck pull off. At the first scenic…

I See Fire!
Guernsey State Park, WY, May 2025 Well, not really. It looks like a volcano erupted and a lava flow is coming for you or maybe a raging forest fire in the distance. This was the sunset on the day before we left Guernsey State Park. The sky was overcast with low clouds, so the sunset…

Oregon Trail Ruts
Guersney, WY, April 2025 Guernsey has some of the best trail ruts I have seen so far. The wheels created about 3-foot-high ridges in the rock. I feel sorry for the animals that had to pull the wagons. The area had many signs about what was like and history of traveling west. I thought you…

Family day at the beach
Guernsey State Park, WY, May 2025 I never said it was my family. My family would complain about it being cold, damp, and windy. Sadly, goose children listen to their parents better than human children. When the parent goose honked, the children ran back to them. This might be directly related to how likely they…
