Tuesday Travelogue-November 17th

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our sixty-ninth week!  Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

 

 to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

  and hopefully much more!

Making our way alphabetically through our beloved United States, we are  at the end of the map with Wyoming being our very last state to visit. After seeing these posts, I am even more drawn to seeing Wyoming in person someday. 

 

Brenda Whitman seems to be THE localism blogger when it comes to Laramie, Wyoming. Check out this stunning view of Medicine Bow Peak--this is what I'm talkin' about when I say "localism" and Tuesday Travelogue! It warranted the big size of the photo, just so that you can take it all in. Ironically, it was a Thanksgiving Day post!

Another glorious group of photos of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, (a place that I've ALWAYS wanted to go to) was taken by Katerina Gassett on a trip she and her family took there far from her home in Florida. This is certainly not something you see every day.

When I think of Wyoming, I immediately think SNOW. Well, this video doesn't disappoint in that regard! Another view of Jackson Hole, WY thanks to Kent Hobson. You have to watch the whole thing, it's so remarkable what these athletes can do (including a 13 year-old at the end!!! Incredible!!!)

            

Here's a history lesson about Sheridan, Wyoming and and the Big Horn Mountains,  Chief Crazy Horse's home. Brought to you by John Chase

Here is a photo that I discovered, taken by Brenda Whitman's son in Laramie, WY. "Swirled into Oblivion" ,what is this? Read on to find out. It looks like a natural abstract.

Jeffrey, thanks for supporting localism! Armchair traveling...so good. I've enjoyed sushi in your neck-of-the-woods visually/virtually thanks to you.

Just one comment- my post about the Big Horn Mountains and the surrounding area is about the Sheridan, WY area, which is quite a difference from Cheyenne, WY.

Hi Gayle - Nice travelogue for our neighbors to the north. There is a lot of natural beauty on display up there, and as Mary can attest, some great trout fishing. Thanks for the mini-vacation.

Gayle lots of wonderful places to visit today.  I've had the pleasure of being in all but one place with the swirled pic. I'll have to go see what that's all about. Thanks for the road trip today!

AB~I thought that pic was pretty dang COOL. It actually was the very first blog post I found of interest doing this today, but decided to lure people with the other photos first. You are lucky to have visited those places!

Brenda Whitman, who is a member of my office sent me this blog. She has every reason to be proud of the photo and of getting some recognition for it. I also liked your blog, very original and informative. Thank you for promoting Wyoming.

Gayle - Thanks for taking us on a tour of Wyoming. We had the opportunity to travel through that lovely state in an RV during the summer of 2014. We got to see quite a few things, including Jackson Hole.

I don't know what the draw is for me, to go to Jackson Hole, but I can recall being in college (umpteen years ago) and wanting to see it. Someone must've planted a seed!

Good morning Girlfriend-I always make sure that I come visit your Tuesday Travelogue and I gotta say, your picks of Wyoming photos definitely inspired me to visit.  I love the foto of Medicine Bow Creek and the video-just captivating girlfriend-maybe we could meet there?

I'd certainly rather go with a great traveling buddy like you as well as tackling it in the summer months. That photo really was something, wasn't it?

Debb, how many times have you been there? The folks that bought our place (the wife, anyway) had lived in Wyoming for a time.

Nice post. I enjoyed my virtual visit to Wyoming. My daughter's BF just came back from there with lots of meat in his trunk after hunting.

Not being a hunter, this makes me sad. But thank you for stopping by and commenting, none-the-less, Olga.
