What used to be a blog about experiencing the places and cultures of the world has morphed into one of living in my adopted home of Wyoming.

Wyoming Adventures
At the end of July, I flew my niece and nephew out for a visit. Really, it was to share with them the things about Wyoming that I love so much - specifically, the plethora of outdoor activities. I started with a basic itinerary over about 8 days, but it was soon packed with adventures - including a bingo game to identify Wyoming wildlife during driving times. We had a blast, so I thought I'd post some of the big take-aways here:
Total miles driven: 1,321
2 States
2 Native American Indian Reservations
Our adventures started and ended at the Billings, MT airport, but we were able to plan a big loop through the region:
