Wednesday in Wyoming - August 21, 2024

 

If you've seen one rock, you've seen them all. Some might say that, but that wasn't  the pioneers' sentiment. They celebrated reaching this milestone on the Oregon Trail by carving or painting their names on the side of the granite outcropping.

Were they thinking about the rest of the journey, knowing that it was the most difficult?  I imagine they were, but at least for a few hours, they could relax and enjoy being here.
