The Saturday Morning Post - 50 States in 52 Weeks - Wyoming

Wyoming is one of the very large, almost rectangular states, north of Colorado and Utah, touching on the southern border of Idaho, with Montana above it. 

In August of 2023, I drove north from Denver to Cheyenne, spent the night and drove west nearly all the way across the state, turning north to go to Idaho and complete my pilgrimage to visit all 50 states. In an ideal world Wyoming would have been the last state for me to visit, because alphabetically it is the last state, but the routing just didn't work out. Wyoming was an add on to a work trip, meetings in Denver that I needed to attend. 

The Interstate Highway runs east to west in a nearly straight line, with a gentle roll in the landscape for well over 200 miles.  Going west I got off the main roads and drove the back roads to the south, through more mountains, climbing to over 10,000 feet in elevation.  It was spectacular. 

In a very desolate way, this is a very pretty part of the world. 

Glad I have been there, though I would be happy to return, I very much doubt that I will ever return. 

And that is 50 states, but there are 52 weeks, onto a territory and district to round out the year.
