So…the drive I said I was going to do never got done. That day, I woke up hungover and felt a strange need to go eat some Steak ‘n Shake. So I went to Kansas City and back for some Steak ‘n Shake. I spent several hours the next day driving around the Kansas City area, and unfortunately lost a couple hundred photos somehow, so I didn’t get everything I wanted, and the trip has a giant gap in it.
Anyway, after that drive I briefly considered not driving Wyoming highways anymore and just driving around as a I please, and then I went insane and just got back from a 3 day drive in northwestern Wyoming, getting the entirety of that region. So, here’s what I’ve got:

So that’s a pretty big chunk of fish. I’ll probably take some much smaller scale drives in the next couple months, mainly focusing on the area south of I-80 and then some goofy other stuff (Casper/Glenrock maybe?), with the goal of having everything south of..oh…US-20 done by Christmas. Then next spring I’ll focus on the northeastern chunk, maybe doing another huge drive where I just blow everything out.
