At least once a month I set off into the "Big Wonderful Wyoming" hinterlands to see kids for work. Luckily, I have a state issue Ford Taurus and satellite radio to keep things entertaining. The trips normally are a few days long and admittedly are better in the summer months as the roads are clear and I manage to sneak in rounds of golf after work. The trips take me to places in Wyoming that Jackson residents would normally not go to and scoff at. Wyoming has a ton of awesome places outside of Jackson!
Heading east, over Togwotee Pass early in the morning en route to Sheridan (9 hours from Jackson) with the snowplow trying in vein to move what is almost non existent snow banks.

The views were good out my office this morning!
Heading toward Thermopolis from Shoshoni. Big Horn River Canyon.
Interstate in WY? Yep, the nearest Interstate from Jackson might be three hours away, but I found I-90 between Buffalo and Sheridan.
Back through the canyon the next day heading home.
Always a welcomed sight......The Tetons on the drive back home after a white knuckle struggle in the Tauras.
"Black Betty" pulled into the empty (not open on the weekdays) MeadowLark Ski Area in the BigHorn Mountains, near the awesome town of Tensleep, WY.

You'd think they'd give you something with 4wd for the winter driving!! Extra hazard pay??
Hey Breath...hope you are starting to get some snow! Love the posts on the Kat-dogger's blog. I have a new found respect for a Ford Taurus....you can drive close to 600 miles on a tank of gas. Jackson to Cheyenne and gas to spare!
