One summer I drove I-80 across Wyoming.
In the distance I could see some sort of object on the horizon, but couldnt make it out.
Kept getting closer, but still couldn’t tell what it was.
Finally, I got closed enough to see...
It was a tree.
A single, solitary tree.
Yes, it’s that barren up there.
Long time ago I worked as a mud logger in the oil/gas patch right near there a few miles outside of Wamsutter.
Looked a lot like that big pic a lotta the time I was there.
In one stretch we had wind chills of ~40°below for a week straight.
T’was an amazing experience . . .
