Welcome to Colorado



The Wild Bunch



Cellblock

The original cell block.

Concrete and brick with vaulted ceilings. Not much ventilation and little heat!


The newer block constructed of steel. There was a better heating system but smaller cells.




Wyoming Territorial Prison

A prison from the late 1800’s until 1903. There were some interesting inmates including Butch Cassidy. 


Early prisoner transport.

Oregon Trail Wagon Ruts

We have been here before but since it was on the way we decided to stop again. 


How many wagons had to pass this spot to rut the trail that deep?





3 Sisters Restaurant in Manville, WY

It’s literally the only business in town (and for miles in all directions) and some of the best diner food anywhere! We decided to indulge in the Chocolate Chip Cookie pie. It was divine!

And even more fun- we have been here many times!

Welcome to Wyoming


Ali is the only one going to Wyoming… Not really- Jim is driving and Sam cashed in her “I’m staying in the car” pass. She earned it when she was willing to get out in Wauconda and Ali wasn’t. The enthusiasm for state signs is overwhelming. 97 degrees and windy didn’t help!
