Lots of good free camping in the state. I love sushi, but Wyoming is a long way from the ocean. MM

Ah, memories. They compensate (a bit) for becoming a living dinosaur.
This photo is from before my time. But at one time I lived approximately where the outhouse in the center of the shot is, in a remodeled chicken coop.
This was in my backyard as I was growing up. We bagged the FA of this face in February 1971, with "modern" techniques. Local crazies had been to the top much earlier.
This was where I got started as a climber, soloing about.
My buddies and I pushed our limits out here.
The skinny pinnacle got its FA in the '70s, while the larger one on the left waited until the '90s. Both still unrepeated, I'll bet.
(All photos from the web.)

Love the approach to Moran.
Summit. Please note the white cotton socks and home made climbing helmet.
Dave. We made the helmets together.

Over 200 posts and not a single antelope?!?
no rodeo?!?
I'll stay on topic with some "climbing appreciation," but Wyoming deserves more love.

Hey no sheep or goats either. That reminds me when we were staying at a friends house in Cody and we were watching this show on Wyoming PBS about "Goat Packing". We could not remember teh name but we laughed quite a while about the title. It ended up being a very cool show on how this guy has these goats that pack his stuff into the winds and how the goats could go places lamas could not like on glacier/snowfields if I remember right. I found this on youtube but have not watched it but it seems like this could be the same crew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbs9_MXQ7mE

Interesting story followed this photo...later in the evening we were following a hay truck south of Pinedale when a herd of 30 or so antelope decided to cross the highway. The trucker had no choice but to keep driving through at 70mph, killing at least 6 or 7 of them. Had we been leading the drive with our SUV, we'd have been killed for sure. When it comes to antelope, where one goes, the rest always follow, even when it makes no sense.
