Wyoming is definitely winning in the photo contest. We have 563 photos in the Wyoming folder. The next closest is South Dakota with 115. On our way west we stopped in Douglas, Wyoming, site of the Wyoming State Fair grounds, a great Pioneer museum, and home of the jackalope. The pioneer museum was fantastic and free! They had a gun collection that Uncle Philip would love and lots of great rooms full of pioneer day stories and artifacts. After the museum the boys could not resist running through the fairground sprinklers. We spent our first night "WalMart Camping"in Rock Springs and I must say it went well. The boys had us in stitches! They were outside for a few moments and then they came rolling up saying "did someone in here order some groceries!" Ha!
We had a fantastic visit to Kemmerer, Wyoming, the fish fossil capital of the world. We ventured up the road to
Fossil Safari on FSR 4211 and had a blast splitting apart the quarry stone finding neatly pressed remains of fish. Max and Ruth, parents of friends of ours from Anchorage, welcomed us to their Kemmerer home like we were family, and they treated us to the juiciest grilled burgers of the trip for our lunch. The boys had a blast playing with Bella, their German short hair pointer.
Later yesterday evening we rolled in to Salt Lake City at the home of good friends, Scott and Sharon. Sharon was a previous co-worker of Amy's at Providence. Jackson and Asa enjoyed reuniting with Rachel and Jeremiah and their new dog Harley, an energetic German Shepherd. Today, Scott was very helpful to Jerry as they tackled an RV project. We enjoyed an afternoon at the pool, an evening bike ride, and just catching up a bit. If you ask Jackson and Asa their favorite part of the day they would probably say riding around on the ATVs and motorcycle. Thanks Scott and Sharon for your generous hospitality, welcoming us in just three weeks after moving in your new home!

Did a google search on Kemmerer Wy and found your blog. My wife had to go there on a business trip. I honestly never would have considered taking my kids there for adventure, but it looks like you found some fun things to do and now I'm considering going up there for a weekend. Quick drive from SLC. Thanks for the post.
