Last leg of our trip

 

4/24/14

 

We left the hotel in Thermopolis on our LAST leg of the trip! It was only 2.5 hours to get to our land.

 

NOTE - all the picture comments will be below the pictures.



 

 

We just left Thermopolis here, headed toward Cody and then on to our land.

Some of the pretty land outside of Thermopolis.

There are lots of rock formations out here.

Seeing the snow capped mountains just as we were getting ready to head into Cody!! 

We stopped here at the Maverick gas station to fill up one last time before heading to our land.  The gas prices here are a little cheaper than they are in OH.  We met 2 wonderful people here that had only been in WY for 3-4 years.  Everyone we've met here has been so nice!! 

We are heading out of Cody, toward our property which is about 35 minutes away.

This is Heart Mountain.  I just recently learned about this mountain and its significance in American history.  If you have never heard of it before (I was never taught about it in school), then I highly recommend looking it up!!  The basics that I know: During WWII, the Japanese were taken from their homes into camps at Heart Mountain.  There is a place you can go and learn more about what happened.  We will be doing that soon, and I'll share lots more information and pictures then.

I believe these mountains are part of the Beartooth Mountains.  From our property, these are the mountains that are to the south of us.

The sign into the little town of Clark!!  We don't live in the 'town', we live up the road a little ways.

Within a 10 minute drive of our house is the Edelweiss Saloon!! We haven't been in there yet, but it's on our to-do list.

If you look toward the middle of this picture, above, and see the white square - that is our shed on our property.  And you can also see 2 of our three neighbors' homes here too.

There are farm fields across the highway from where we live.  They all use irrigation systems like this one.

Just before you take the gravel road to our property is the Big Sand Coulee.  We were told that all the 'draws' or 'natural culverts' on our land are actually called Coulees!  There is so much to learn out here!!

Above - we are just getting ready to pull into the gravel road that leads to our property.


The internet here at the library is being slow today, so I'll upload more pictures and more information about our first week in Wyoming the next time.
