Of course that, just as I was crossing from CO to WY my camera battery dies! Ah! I missed the Welcome sign!!! But I know it was right by the big buffalo on top of that hill in the picture. Damn batteries!!! At least, I have a spare one...
I spent most of my day driving through southern Wyoming. Say what you will, but this seemed to me as the end of the world! Not in a bad connotation though. Compared to the midwest and the so called "flat states", Wyoming is 10 times worse... I could see the road stretching miles and miles and miles (At least there were mountains in the distance; may be that's the thing...). And let me tell you that I didn't see any road kill going through Wyoming at all, which made me think:
1) this state is so barren that not even animals live here, or
2) there aren't enough cars, or maybe not enough animals, to kill and/or to die.
But guess what I saw in the middle of nowhere (no, not McDonald's, although that's already expected at every single stop or town along the road)?
WALMART!!! That's where they hide! A huge Walmart terminal, full of huge Walmart trucks, in the middle of nowhere! I found them! hahaha
At the same time, this desert/cold/windy-like landscape was beautiful to me! I had an expression of awe during most of the drive.
This is the real wild wild West baby! No man's land!
