Day 3 Addendum: Wyoming

I forgot to mention two important happenings in Wyoming. Wyoming isn't really all that iteresting, so I consider us to have been incredibly fortunate to have run into so many interesting things.

Number one: we drove past this sign:



We drove through a city with a population of one! It was magical. It intrigued me. Why would someone live in a city all by himself? It intrigued me so much that I, of course had to Google "Lost Springs, WY" when I got the chance. That brought me to this website.

Kind of ruined some of the magic.

The second event in Wyoming: I killed an endangered species (specie?).
I didn't mean to. It just kind of scooted out in front of my car. I had never seen one of these buggers before - I thought they only existed in movies - and I was so excited to see it on the side of the road! And then it bolted out in front of my car, and I couldn't stop. And I squashed it. I felt awful. I felt so bad, that I have made a rather sizable donation to


the Save the Tumbleweed Foundation.
