Partly cloudy hoodies & Summit Ridge Trail: pictures from all across Wyoming

 It took a few years, but we made it to this vista. The Summit Ridge Trail in Medicine Bow National Forest, east of Laramie. 1st time we tried we got lost & caught in a rain storm. 2nd time I was too scared to go very far into the forest. We turned around and went back from wence we came. 3rd times the charm. 












Finished these a few weeks ago. The pattern is hard to look at, made from a paper from a previous life in an alternative universe. I think a pro mortality transhumanist would see my current incarnation as a grand gesture of mercy towards the rapid ending of all suffering by helping to bring about mass extinction. Hopefully those who remain will be able to make use of some sheer, partly cloudy hoodies.






Wyoming. We saw elk, moose, and Antelope.
Deer, coyote, eagles, osprey, Heron, beaver or muskrat, not sure which. Several species of ducks, and doves. Rabbits quail, Prairie dogs, Ravens, Lots of other songs birds And a magnificent panoply of stars In the lovely complete darkness. I didn't see any big horn sheep, but I really looked in those cliffs beside the Hobarth River. I look forward to stopping in Pinedale one day & going to the Museum of the Mountain Man.
