Our Winter
Winters in Southeast Wyoming are long and windy. Leaves are
a distant memory and evergreens rule. The countryside gets quiet
and even more empty of people than during the rest of the year.
Venturing into its woods on cross-country skis or snowshoes,
one may run into moose or elk.

Fall in Sherman Mountains
•
October 2022+23
Wyoming's Sherman Mountains are the last northern gasp of the Front
Range might, creating picturesque rocky woodlands between Laramie
and Cheyenne, reaching elevations of 9,000 feet. For a few weeks
every fall, they burst into a mosaic of evergreens and suddenly
wildly colored deciduous trees and bushes.

June at Snowy Range
Here at 11,000 ft elevation in Medicine Bow National Forest,
the spring had just begun. With snow retreating from the hills,
blossoms open and marmots set up their regular guard duties.
While tourists buzz up and down the finally clear road, access to
most lakes remains snowed-in, and peace rules the back country.

June 2023
One of the two still functional largest steam engines in the world,
which also happens to live in our city, embarks on a tour to Omaha,
Nebraska, through some choice parts of eastern Wyoming, stopping
along the way in small towns.

Carol's Camo Kayak
This is the maiden voyage of our new floating menace on our nearest
lake worth paddling on. Her brave captain conquers the wind-swept
waters of the infamous Cliffhanger Bay and survives the rocky coast
of Curt Gowdy State Park's prime spot.

Bent Rock, Colorado

October 2022
A peculiar geological formation lay in the prairie of northern
Colorado, right on Wyoming border. Variously colored sandstone,
soapstone and chalk underwent some tumbling many millennia ago,
leaving us with bizarre landscape unlike any other.

Mesa Falls, Idaho
It is the 4th of July, a day suitable for celebration of the
American West by visiting one of its many beautiful natural wonders.
Extremely hard rhyolite resists, yet eventually succumbs to water
erosion, but in the (very long) meantime, there is a waterfall for
us.

Colorado Highway 14
•
June 2022
Before the tourists start flocking into the Rockies, while the snow
is still melting in Cameron Pass and feeding rivers on both sides
of the Front Range, we start at the lush low point in the valley
near Walden, encounter rapids on upper Cache la Poudre River,
and glimpse the majesty of snowy mountain peaks.

WY the Colors
Toward the end of the "Road Construction Season",
all the Wyoming's warning sign yellows, traffic cone oranges,
and stop sign reds migrate to the woods, where they briefly
illuminate aspens, birches and ashes into a riot in defiance of
the oncoming frost.

Monument Rocks, Kansas

September 2021
On a dirt road seventeen miles out from Highway 93, on a private
property open to public, in 99°F (37°C) heat at the start
of September, we find the only natural arch in Kansas, amidst
slowly crumbling rock formations surviving their long past, when
they were just another island in a vast inland ocean.
