Honeymoon: Immense Wyoming

Word to the wise: Wyoming is incredibly huge and mostly full of vast fields of nothing. Outside of Yellowstone and Jackson, there appears to only be sagebrush and the occasional pronghorn deer. It’s not ugly – there really isn’t anything around to offend – but it is super harsh. How on earth did the pioneers make it through this part?

We spent a long, rainy day driving through with only Wyoming’s surprisingly great NPR stations to keep us from boredom. It was during this muddy stretch that our decorated car hit terminal dirtiness. We eventually crossed into Colorado and spent the night at Estes Park.

Tomorrow: Colorado! Including stories of hiking, hot springs, tandem biking, marble, rural medical care and even more things made out of antlers.
