Along US 85/Greeley Highway

Once you pass the Empty brown back of the sign (you'd think it'd at least say, thanks for visiting Colorado!) and the two lottery selling businesses on the state line into Wyoming, and that other unmentionable business, you will come on your right hand side to the Welcome to Wyoming sign, which is situated in a little pull out.

Next to the Welcome to Wyoming sign is the Wyoming Department of Transportation sign, in blue, giving an emergency phone number. [Just past the Welcome to Wyoming Sign is a sign for the Sand Creek Massacre Trail, and I'll explain that in my next post.]




As you enter Wyoming, the first county encountered is Laramie County, which is part of the Laramie County Conservation District.

As you stand in this byway admiring the signs, also on your left you will see a couple of microwave towers. Or at least towers with fiddly little dishes on them that I assume are microwave towers.



Look to your left, across the road, and you'll see a wind farm.





And finally, as you get back in your car to carry on, you'll pass a sign on your right that says Cheyenne, 9 miles.
