During the summer months of 2007 (May - Aug), I'm working in Yellowstone National Park. During that time, I'll be working at the Canyon General Store Fountain as a Fry Cook.

During my off-hours, I'm spending as much time biking, hiking, and most importantly, taking photos of everything. My intention is to keep an online journal that includes pictures of the amazin...

Today is my third day of travel. The most intersting (and fun) parts of the day both happened in the southeastern part of Wyoming.

Late in the day, a rain storm passed through the area I was visiting. I decided once I entered the state and passed the city of Cheyenne that I'd like a break from driving and drove SR210 west. The road paralleled I81, so I figured I wouldn't lose too much time.

So, shortly after leaving the highway, I noticed some amazing sights along the road, pulled over, and saw the rainbow pictured below. And since the western states all have "big sky," The rainbow stretched from one end of the horizon to another.

Along the road, I stumbled upon a national forest named "Medicine Bow National Forest." Specifically, I was in the "Pole Mountain Area" (41° 11.461'N, 105° 17.742'W). The trip through only a few of the roads of the forest was awesome...it was just like driving an off-road vehicle (or what I'd imagine driving an off-road vehicle feels like). My car handled the roads extremely well...despite its relatively low underbody clearance. I was able to drive on nearly any road and slope I encountered and drove around for at least 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, these pictures don't really do the steepness of the roads justice, but I thought I'd include them nonetheless.

Once I returned to the highway, but before it got dark, I also passed a strange looking hillside that still had patches of snow all over the place.
