Migration Completed

In the mountains of western Wyoming, at an elevation of roughly 6000 ft., it is still early spring. Most of the valley snow has melted, if not that on the hillsides, and the ground is muddy. The skies aren’t yet reliably blue and the deciduous trees haven’t leafed out.

A bit over 500 miles to the south, where NV, UT, and AZ come together, we had already seen our first 100℉ day. Here we’re promised mostly highs in the 50s and 60s for the next couple of weeks. A month from now the local weather should be mostly nice, now it is semi-dodgy - damp and cool but not frigid.

The weather may not be totally cooperating but it is good to be home, back in a real dwelling that doesn’t have wheels under it. A nearby sign explains a lot about why we love it here:

Wyoming, the way America used to be.

With the welcome addition of modern plumbing and wifi.
