Bighorns and badlands

[roverrocks]

My wife and myself visited our oil/gas field engineer son in Worland, Wyoming recently and we all took a couple of days to wander through the scenic Bighorn Mountains and a nearby badlands area in northern Wyoming. Not having been to the Bighorn Mountains/Cloud Peak Wilderness area since backpacking there over 30 years ago and climbing the highest peak Cloud Peak then, this was a visit back in time for me. My wife had never been in the area before so the amazing and beautiful scenery was all new to her. Here's some photos of some of this vast and grand area which also has so much violent pioneer/cavalry/Indian history in the late 1800's. My wife and son are in a couple of the pictures.

I love the Bighorns and most of the state. Last trip into Jackson, learned the ex-vice president lives near town. The talk was, there is a special place in Hell for people like him. He was advised well to enjoy heaven on earth while he can... I'd agree.

LOL but let's not get into politics. Life's to short to dwell on all things political since all sides are full of ******t and have been for 10,000 years.

Thank you. There are many thousands of forums and venues for expressing political views. ExPo isn't one of them.

Like said before, I can smell the sage from your photos. I love the grasslands and badlands of the west. My favorite place to wander around and hunt. Thanks for posting the photos.
