Half way between the Black Hills of South Dakota and the Denver area is Ft. Laramie, Wyoming. It's been a long time since I've been in WY and wow wow wow what vistas today! Then we came down into the North Platte and Laramie Rivers valley to irrigated land and fields of corn. Beautiful but oh my I can't imagine living here. Also along the river valley are long trains of coal cars and oil cars.
Here is a picture to the south of us and the other to the north.
This afternoon we toured the Fort Laramie National Historic Site. The most important outpost on the major emigrant trails – the Oregon, Mormon and California.
