Going Home
The Hubster and I spent the last night of our vacation in Pinedale, Wyoming.
I would love to come back for a visit someday, but we were focused on home. No more puttering around.
*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
When we arrived at the hotel, we were in the midst of one wicked lightning, thunder and rain storm. I loved it!
The next morning, we had an early and hearty breakfast at the Wrangler Cafe, and began the long drive home.
Two of the things that keep drawing me back to Wyoming are the beauty and ruggedness of the state.
All of the photos in this post are taken with my phone camera through the car window while the Hubster was driving.
It is early October.
This storm, barely out of Pinedale, was looking mighty impressive!
Now our drive home just became a lot longer! This was ice, and it was slow going. We had a real concern that this road out was going to be closed.
Once we made it out of that storm, we did have to change our route.
The wind picked up. Really picked up!
Due to the winds, the road was closed and we had to turn around and retrace our steps (not too far, thank goodness).
The next route we chose, the road was closed to certain vehicles, but our sized vehicle was allowed to drive it even with the heavy winds.
We were beginning to wonder if we were ever gonna make it out of of this state!
But we did.
I will be back!
I love Wyoming!
See the world around you!

Beautiful pics, very pretty country. Only been to the very corner of Wyoming, to the University and the museum there. The ice was a little crazy, but looks like you had the road to yourselves. That takes some of the pressure off.

I love Wyoming, too! You got some amazing photographs of the skies and storms, Laura. Sorry you ran into that ice, though. Glad you did get home safe and sound!

Thanks Diann! Wyoming is an amazing place! And hey…the ice made for a memorable experience. Fortunately for us, we come from an area that typically gets snow and ice, so we knew how to drive in it.😉

I am looking up Pinedale right now. I think this is one of the states on my daughter’s retirement list. 🏡 There’s no place like home. So enjoyed making this trip with you!

Amazing scenery. I’m not surprised you want to go back. Way back in my youth I was mad about reading pony books. I remember the wide open spaces and mountains in the illustrations on the front of the Mary O’Hara Flicka story books that were set in Wyoming.

I had forgotten all about Flicka, Allison! Wide open spaces and mountains…you sure got that right! I have been to Wyoming many times and I am still enthralled with it! 🙂
