Well , abbas , my friend , I did manage to leave central
Texas on June 1st . My friend and I drove from centex
to Laramie , Wyoming …..straight through……it took
about 24 hours . We can put a thousand miles behind
us in a day…….of course he used to drive a big rig
for years so he’s into that . It took a couple of weeks
to adjust to the altitude ( 7200 ft. ) . One spends a lot
of those days feeling light headed from the decreased
oxygen levels ( yogic breathing comes in handy at this
time ) plus you spend a bunch of time sleeping .
This is Turtle Rock , located in the Medicine Bow National
Forest . We were there around June 6th . The temperature
was around 58 degrees with a light rain falling……my kind
of day. We were the only hikers there . I’ll be back with some more
photos from Wyoming .
