Wyoming is mostly flat!

Yes, after driving through it for 8 hours, I can guarantee that it is prarie lands and seems desolate. There is something eerie about the land. We saw wind mills that generate electricity, lots of oil, lots of cattle and horses, some pronghorn deer, and a few snow capped mountains in the background. We drove through indian reservations. Tim was not impressed with the houses that seemed dumpy and splattered here and there. You can truly live in the middle of nowhere. It is also easy to see how there can be more cattle than people, and how tornadoes can form so easily. The picture above is one taken coming out of Laramie, WY and shows the Snowy Mountain Range. There was one place where there were horses that came right up to the fence near the road. Really looks western to me.

It wasn't until we got to the area just east of the Grand Tetons that we saw the beautiful mountains called the Cathedral Group or the Teton Range. They were gorgeous. I didn't include a picture because it was hazy but I'll include some with my next blog. Needless to say, we were glad to get to our destination.
