We decided to take the scenic route as Shagg advised, so we drove south on US-20 and took Badwater Road east past Bonneville and stayed on that road all the way to Lysite. Here is the satellite view of our trek.
Along the way I photograph this fence which had caught all the tumbleweeds blowing across the plain.

The flowers in the two photographs below were an unexpected surprise. The best time to visit Wyoming is in the spring!
The first place we encountered as we entered Lysite was the Recreation Center. It was about a quarter mile outside of town.
Along with a playground, it has a tennis court, a basketball court, a volleyball court, four horseshoes courts, a baseball diamond, a covered picnic area, and restrooms. It didn't appear to be used by many people.
In the 2000 census, Lysite had a population of 80.
In the Lysite Store, above, I met these three friends (Terri, Barb, and Ray) who were most helpful in giving me advice regarding their community. They highly recommended the book below.

I hope you bought the book. If you did you read about some of my family (ancestors). Came across your blog as a google search result looking for a phone number for the Lysite store. Ray (in one of your pictures) passed the year following this post.
