Crossing Wyoming

Here are some of the photos from the drive across Wyoming.  There are no words to describe the sights!

This is sagebrush.  It's about the only kind of plant that can survive in the dry, windy Great Divide Basin.  That's between the eastern and western mountains of Wyoming which form the Continental Divide.  Once you cross this desert, all the rivers flow west.

The Sinclair Oil Refinery took up almost the whole town of Sinclair.

Fort Bridger Historic Site on the west side of the state is the place where frontiersman Jim Bridger established a trading post when he saw that the trapping/trading life was soon going to be replaced by the settlers moving west.  The US government eventually built a fort there.  Outside the gate, a set of old Lincoln Highway tourist lodgings, the Black and Orange Cabins, have been restored.
