We made it to Wyoming

   After a few more stops in Utah and Colorado we finally crossed over into Wyoming.  It’s a cold and rainy night , but the forecast is for better weather the rest of the week.

Here’s a few pictures (mostly rocks!) of things we saw from Canyonlands to here.

  1. It's fun looking at your pictures and remembering we were just there about a month ago. Remember - Wyoming is always windy.
