June 30, 2013 Black Hills, SD to Big Horn mountains, WY

Enroute to Cody for the 4th of July.

Upton, Wyo. We stopped at the Red Onion Museum. It is supposed to have a two headed calf. But it was closed. Across the street was the Country Corner Laundromat and Lounge. That is the kind of Laundromat I think I could put up with, one with drinks and a pool table.

This structure is in the plains  between Gillette and Buffalo. No idea what it is. This is one house I think, surrounded by junk- on the plains out side of Buffalo.

We headed up hill into the Big Horn Mountains. Steep grade, we had to pull over and cool off. The signs said this route had the least grade and was the safest. Also looked like we were headed into a thunderstorm. But the clouds blew over. Out campsite at Tie Hack campground.  The whole area was carpeted in lupines.

Lupines as far as the eye can see.

Close up lupines and some albino ones.

Wyo rock art. Sunset on Tie Hack reservoir.

 

The dam at Tie Hack. Kind of looks like some kind of Mayan temple.  The wildflowers were kicking.

Wild wildflowers.

And more.

The masterpiece in progress.  The dark coils are wet, the rest is dry. Mostly it needs beads on the edges and I am going to do some embellishment with some narrow coils and metallic thread. Maybe.
