Hard to stay off of the interstate today.
Took absurd off road trails.
Was on dirt roads, packed roads, unpacked roads, sand roads, gravel roads, red gravel roads, less than 1 mile of pavement, and a road that wasn't so much a road as just a place where the sage didn't grow as high.
Made about 40 miles round a bout and ended in Wamsutter. Have a lead on a path that will get me to Rawlins tomorrow. No time estimates yet. We will see how this next "road" looks.
Saw many free range horses, antelope, and a herd of some 40 or 50 elk (maybe more) moving fast south along the sage land. Was magnificent to see.
I crossed over the great divide into the great divide basin today somewhere along a rough cow path. It looked like a little hill to me.
Met Jim and Wayne in Wamsutter. Are up from Georgia building apartments for the oil employees here. Was offered shower and place to sleep in their camper. Had me at 'shower'.
Jim tells me there is only one two-story building in town. They are building a second one. They town does have a post office, grocery store, and two cafes though. Lots of trailers and oil money here.
Wyoming has finally started looking flat. High and flat and very sandy.
