It got so bad in the truck that I had to get behind a cattle hauler just to cover the smell, even the air freshener could not keep up and when I finally took a shower at a truck stop in Cheyenne, WY. I had to put my clothes in a HAZ-MAT container for transport across state lines!!!!!
There were some exciting moments on this part of the trip. I started to see the long railroad trains. HOW LONG ARE THESE TRAINS??????? These trains are so long, they are so long that they are measured in miles and not by the amount of cars!!!!!!!!!!! I took some pictures, but could never get a really good shot as there are just to many cars....................
Then you start to see the SNOW FENCES and I KNOW, you want to know what a snow fence is?????? and if you don't, you should because there may be a test at a later date. Any way a snow fence, actually there are several of them along stretches of 80 and come winter time when the wind blows, the snow actually builds up against the fence and stays off the road to a certain point, but after so much so then it just becomes a big pile of snow.
I crossed the Continental Divide somewhere out here and the only reason I bring this up is because I crossed it twice??????????? Now I understand that at my age I probably should not be allowed to wander that much or at least wear my GPS collar or my ankle monitoring bracelet so somebody can keep track of me. My question is if something is a dividing line and I am traveling in a supposedly westerly direction, HOW CAN I CROSS IT TWICE??????????????? I must have been absent that day in class, because I looked on my map and I cannot even find it. So the class assignment is to locate the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE and tell me where it is!!!!!!! I know I will see it on the way back, at least once and who knows, maybe even twice. If you find it, send an email to me at my email........
Wyoming also has some wind farms. Really large farms. The only other place I have seen this sort of thing was out in California around Hinkley, Boron, and Edward's air force base. No, THEY DO NOT GROW WIND!!!!! They are electrical generators. I think the POLITICALLY CORRECT term is ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCE??????????? I have included pictures of trains, snow fences and wind farms and so it is on to Utah...........................
