Just before Lower Sunshine Reservoir, we turned off of WY-290 and soon encountered a big herd of elk. This picture below only shows a small portion of it.
We continued on up Wood River Road and stopped at a ranch which was fattening up some buffalo.

Shoshone National Forest
It was a warm day, and we needed to give my wife's mother an alternative to Animal Planet on TV. We decided to travel up to Meeteetse and then to Shoshone National Forest. Here are the map and directions.
We wanted to see if we could get to Kirwin, an old ghost town where Amelia Earhart was planning to build a cabin when she disappeared.




We had another seven miles to get to Kirwin, but with Grandma on board, we thought we had gone far enough when we saw this portion of the road with a stream intersecting it.

We saw the elk herd once again, but this time they were trying to jump two fences and cross the road. The oil derricks in the background are a common sight in Wyoming.
