Happy Thursday!

December 12, 2012

Between snow in surrounding cities and wrecks closing the interstate on Saturday and then subzero windchill on Sunday - Jen and i didn't make it far this past weekend. I tried to take her to the park but it was cold enough we didn't stay long. Hope life is treating you all alright.

Happy Wednesday!

Another shot from Devil's Gate. This one is from the entrance gate to the visitor's center.
Almost Friday, hope you all have a great day!

December 5th, 2012 - Jen at the State Penitentiary

I have not mailed her off yet, good thing though! I'll be glad to keep her until after Christmas.
Happy Wednesday!

December 4th, 2012 - Jennifer at Devil's Gate

The actual Devil's Gate is the break in the rocks behind the sign.
Happy Tuesday!

From Wikipedia: "Devil's Gate (Wyoming) is a natural rock formation, a gorge on the Sweetwater River a few miles southwest of Independence Rock. The site, significant in the history of western pioneers, was a major landmark on the Mormon Trail and the Oregon Trail although the actual routes of travel did not pass through the very narrow gorge. The earliest surviving photograph of this landmark was made in 1858 by Samuel C. Mills, a photographer with the Captain Simpson Expedition. It is accessible today from Wyoming Highway 220 (mile marker 57) between Casper and Muddy Gap, near the Mormon Handcart Historic Site and Martin's Cove.

Once the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to Benton, six miles east of present day Sinclair, Wyoming, the Mormon Trail was rerouted through Whiskey Gap in Carbon County to a point 10 miles west of Devil's Gate to rejoin the original trail.

Devil's Gate is a remarkable example of superposed or an antecedent drainage stream. The Sweetwater River cuts a narrow 100-meter deep slot through a granite ridge, yet had it flowed less than a kilometer to the south, it could have bypassed the ridge completely. The gorge was cut because the landscape was originally buried by valley fill sediments. The river cut downward and when it hit granite, kept on cutting. It was a matter of pure chance that the river hit the buried ridge where it did."

December 3rd, 2012 - Jennifer at Independence Rock

We spent some time exploring this weekend, but ended up with 65mph winds on Sunday, so we didn't make it to everything I had on the list.
Hope you had a great weekend.
