Southeast Wyoming and Western Nebraska

We took a detour to southeast Wyoming.

Guess what we saw?
That's right...camels!
Some camels were imported to the west
to serve as beasts of burden in the dry areas.
It did not work too well.

Wyoming prairie grass being blown by
a thirty mile an hour wind.

Welcome to Nebraska!

The thirty mile an hour wind picked up newly plowed
soil and blew it into a mini-dust bowl.

Nebraska has some areas that are reminiscent of
the Badlands of South Dakota.

Near Sidney, Nebraska, are modern wind farms.
There are still reminders that old fashioned wind
mills are working to pump water.

There were several huge boots like these in Cheyenne,
Wyoming, but we could not stop the car to get a picture.
We did find this one later on Route 30 in Nebraska.
