Laramie, Wyoming Real Estate: Monuments....Wyoming Style!

Tree in a RockWhile there are many grand things in Wyoming that we celebrate, we're not ones to neglect the marginally noteworthy as well. 

After all, we have a much shorter recorded history than many other areas in the United States so we have to find history where we can. 

Thus you'll find curious highway pull-outs all over the state that are devoted to remembering random moments in history - grand or not. 

On I-70 between Laramie and Cheyenne people can stop, stretch their legs and take a gander at this tree in a rock. 

The accompanying signs explain what it is all about. If you're ready to hang on to your hat and bear the wind for a bit, you'll enjoy reading about how this particular stop came about.

If you get to drive through Wyoming, take the time to stop at the odd little turnouts here and there, they may not be grand but you're sure to learn a little something fun and new!

Brenda,

Each state has its own history and you can learn a lot from driving it. :)

Indeed, each state does have it's own interesting history.... if we'd just slow down enough to take a look at it! : )
