Blog 1

Thinking about what my final project would be I decided to write about a trip I take every other weekend. This trip consists of me, my fiance, and his six year old son traveling from Cheyenne to the Park County area. This trip is about 6 to 7 hours long depending on where we end up. My family lives in Powell which is 7 hours away and Rays family lives in Meeteetse which is 6 hours away. If you have ever traveled from the bottom of the state to the top you will realize that it is not always a pretty site and can become very boring. What better way to make this trip more exciting than to have to pay attention to what I would consider mostly plain and flat. So here my journey begins. Every other week until our project is due I will report on my trip. My focus will be the surroundings and how they change as I travel from the bottom of the state to the top. I will provide as much detail as I can each week and try to discover something new that I didn't notice before.

I would also like to give you all some interesting information about Wyoming.
Wyoming is 97,818square miles and is the 10th largest state.
It is very popular for farming, mining, oil, natural gas, and its unique tourism.
Wyoming is known as the Equality State because it is the first state to allow women the right to vote (Wyoming Map, 2008).
