This past Sunday, I headed out to the desert and then drove into the mountains along with a few friends that I go 4wheel exploring with, under the name Corps of Discovery 4x4 . We had 2 Toyotas and 2 Jeeps on our trip from Farson, WY into Sweetwater Gap in the Wind River Mtns. It was just a day trip but we covered 94 miles in the dirt through a lot of diverse area. A few pics from the trip -

We should have a full trip report with many more pics posted on our site later this week.

 

Sweet !!


Thats so pretty..

 

New England scenery blows... :cry: I want to go cool places like that...*sigh*
If you want to look at leaves changing color, New England is the place to be, if you aren't a homo, there are not any really cool places here...not like that anyway...

 

Now I am jealous and depressed, I am going to have to make a road trip sometime...

 

Cool pic's. Must be nice to live in a area where you can just go on a day trip that is that nice !

 

Seriously, if you keep posting pictures like those, Wyoming is going to have one more resident. Since late May/early June the LA basin in SoCal has been boxed in by haze and smog and there is no longer a view to be had from any of the local mountain ranges. You're killing me out here.

PS, random question, what are your winters like?

 

Thanks for the comments guys! It was a great day 4 wheeling with some great friends.

Wyoming is a great place to explore, but I'm a NC native and I get a bad jones this time of year for the Outer Banks or just some good size lakes. Can't beat the fall colors back east either!

They're like this -


Actually they are long but tolerable. Wyoming is a very windy state and in the flat areas and on the western slopes of the mountain ranges, the wind makes for a tough winter. You have to really like snow because it starts snowing on Halloween and goes through mid-June.

 

took the words outta my mouth.

i feel like the northeast is totally missing out on wide open plains and beautiful mountain trails.

we have the mountains and everything i guess, but not like that!

nice pics.

 

Looks a lot like n.Nevada, I love those long straight streches of desert road, good for haulin a$$

 

Wow! Beautiful trip
