Have you ever driven down a Wyoming mountain highway, looked at the runaway truck turnout, and tried to imagine what it would be like actually to have to use one of those things? I can't put you in the seat of one of those trucks, but I can show you a few videos shot by folks who have seen it happen. There are a few places in Wyoming where there is not enough room for a truck to stop on a ramp.

Wyomingites love to fish. Even more out-of-staters love coming to Wyoming to fish. That's a lot of fish being taken out of these waters. So, how do we put them back? Wyoming fish hatcheries raise the little buggers. Once they are old enough, they have to be taken to some rather obscure locations to be released. Some waterways, be it river or lake, are in remote and hard-to-get places. Time to get creative.

There is a chapter in Worland, Wyoming, one in Casper, and Cheyenne.

A prehistoric mushroom? A dinosaur egg? An alien egg and pod just waiting to open wide and spit something out at your face? Honestly, if you came across this weird-looking rock formation here in Wyoming, what would you think? Wyoming Geologist Myron Cook devoted one of his YouTube posts to exploring what might have caused this. That video is below. At one point in the video, he was surrounded by a small field of these round domes. Honest, I was expecting one to flower open.

Wednesday night, over Wyoming, we will see two rare moon events at once. You've heard the expression, "Once in a blue moon."The moon does not actually turn blue during that time... Sorry. That's when we have two full moons in one month. It's rare. Just a few degrees away you'll see Saturn, shining BRIGHT!That's two big events in one night, and both are really close to each other in the sky. That's when the moon is full, and closer to Earth in its orbit at the same time.

The event is Short Take Off And Landing, or STOL. For pilots wanting to fly into some of the most remote parts of states like Wyoming, it's important to know how to land and take off, in the shortest possible distance. A "bush plane" is most commonly used as the best machine for the job. These are small, light planes, usually 2-seater. Big tires up front, small wheel on the tail. (Pilots call them tail draggers).

Where would you expect Wyoming's loneliest campsite to be? If you're thinking, on top of a mountain somewhere, you might be right. But what about one of the 3 corners area of Wyoming? Not the 4 corners area of the USA. There is only one of those. Wyoming has 3 places where it has 3 corners with two other states. This area, seen on the map below, is a great camping spot, especially if you want to get as far away from people as you can.
