Expedition 5: Wyoming By Evan Harr


We started out the Wyoming expedition at a very cold campsite full of snow. We only stayed there for a night and then we moved on to the Wind River Campsite. While we were there, we drove into Thermopolis and went to Star Plunge and the dinosaur museum. Star plunge is a big hot spring with a couple slides and an indoor and outdoor pool. The really long slide goes really fast and it makes all sorts of turns. The indoor pool was pretty cool but it smelled really bad. The outdoor pool had a little slide, a high dive and a basketball hoop to shoot in the water.
After we were done having fun in Thermopolis, we headed on over to Lander. We had a lot of fun rock climbing there, and I climbed just about every route. After that was done, we headed up to Eagle View Ranch, and it was very cold the first night we got there. It was getting down to -10, so we had to sleep inside in one of the cabins. Most of the time in Wyoming we stayed at EVR and used the facilities, but we did most of the other things backcountry style. We did a few things nearby like cleaning up our highway, and we found some really cool things on the side of our road like an arrow. We also went to Jeremy’s house, went on a hike, and did riflery. The hobo dinners at Jeremy’s house were delicious, and we did a much more extended version of riflery. It was a really cool and fun expedition overall!
