Permalink Wyoming Skies Along the Road“If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?” -Carl Sagan The Wyoming skies were even more beautiful last night without a moon.

Permalink Perigee Moonrise, Happy Jack, Medicine Bow National Forest, WyomingI went out last night to see the perigee moon (Supermoon) but unfortunately it was cloudy. By the time the moon peeked above the clouds it was already far above the horizon and looked much smaller. Nonetheless it was nice to take the Jeep and my dog miles into the hills on rocky dirt roads to watch the moonlight take over the night.

Permalink Wooden Cowboy Boots, WyomingWhile I was hiking around the open plains on some of the state land outside of town I stumbled across a pile of wood near what could be a nice sheltered camp. Upon closer inspection I noticed it was a pile of wooden cowboy boots! Wyoming is full of surprises!
