Wyoming in Motion website

I've started a new website which I call Wyoming in Motion because it will have lots of video.

Right now I'm concentrating on documenting all the sculpture in Cheyenne.

Daytrip to Estes Park, Fri, Oct 5

Estes Park, Colorado is a town, not a park...but it is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park.

It is very much a tourist town. The main drag is full of candy stores, tee shirt stores, and so on.

I was the chauffeur for a friend of mine and her niece and niece's son. Therefore Maleficent didn't accompany me. However, I enjoyed the drive so much that I will return later on this year - if we get a warm day - or for sure next year....

About 10 miles before you get to the town of Estes Park is Big Thompson Indian Village. The only thing that makes it deserve the name are the two mannequins of a male and female Native American, and a teepee, which looks very nice.

Inside the store is a lot of nice stuff. Jewelry, pottery, walking sticks, leather goods, and snacks.










Just a mile or so past the Indian Village, we saw a few cars parked and people taking photos. These mountain goats were high on the hillside.





Don't remember why I took a photo of this, I think just to show the rock formation...

Another photo, I guess just to show the scenery... and the twisty turny road through the canyon

A front-on view of the Fall River Visitor Center.



We didn't go into the visitor center, but we did go into the shop right next to it. Two floors of stuff to buy!


 I was trying to get the statues - there's a moose on the left and a bear I think on the right...but you can also see the mountains and the fog.

This location was PAST Estes Park by about five miles or so, the absolute gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park




 We turned back and parked in Estes Park, and wandered around. Got a fudge-covered apple, various other snacks. Why I didn't take photos of Estes Park proper I do not know.

Sat, Oct 6, 2012: First snow in Cheyenne of the Winter

Maleficent checks out the snow in back of my house. (The first floor doors open onto the back of the house, the second floor door opens onto the side of the  house.)
