    The DeTour Trip Report - As Told by Blackdawg

    Not long after the road entered a wash. It looked like it had flowed pretty well possible. The water was going pretty good but didn’t look deep. We weren’t exactly worried about a flash flood at this time either and continued on through the water. 2017-09-30 - 00041 - The De-Tour - Day 14 by...

    After a few miles we pulled up on an old homestead or mine site. Little bit of both likely and walked around the couple of structures for a bit. The DeTour-65.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr IMG_4323 by mike digirat, on Flickr 2017-09-30 - 00037 - The De-Tour - Day 14 by Dan, on...

    Not sure why it was capped off or it they open and close it as needed for cattle. Not certain there. The cave it was in was much more interesting though. IMG_4296 by mike digirat, on Flickr This place with its offering of water was speacil to those passing through. Not sure who Leo was but...

    Chapter 13: Full Circle The Sun blasted through my tent early in the morning. But not enough to get me out of bed. The view from the tent window was epic enough I just stayed in. Dan of course didn’t. At least for a bit and crawled out even earlier as was normal to capture the first light...

    Super true. Jackson Hole isn't really wyoming by local standards. Not even close.

    3-week Wyoming/Montana Experiment

    Hell no! Our winter last year was brutal. Started snowing like Sept 16th and didn't stop until May. I welcome the much more chill start this year! haha Its snowed a few times though. Think we are on storm 4 now. First big one was in August. But the snow didn't last from the first few. Snow stuck...
