Southeast corner of Wyoming

Expansive electric substation near Cheyenne along Interstate 80 (from June 1998)

Twin pylons deliver electricity across the high plains of Southeast Wyoming (from June 1998)

Fences mark the boundary between ranches. This is a picture of vast nothingest (actually I think it's a valley), south of Interstate 80, east of Cheyenne (toward Denver). Can you find a similar place in the Eastern U.S.? (from June 1998)

Original LH approaching I-80/US 30 between Burns and Cheyenne. First example of the Lincoln Highway unpaved I encountered along the way. (from August 2001)

Old US 30 east of Cheyenne -- Although US 30 has been rerouted onto I-80 in this area, this US 30 street sign remains on the former route. (from August 2001)

North end of I-180 at US 30 in Cheyenne (see Andy's I-180 page for significance) (from August 2001)

While this photo has nothing to do with the Lincoln Highway, I had to find a home for it. From Steve Mannix, this photo shows Wyoming DOT altering the exit numbering for I-25 @ I-80 outside of Cheyenne. Hopefully this was temporary due to construction on the interchange. Still, why the jump from B to D? What happened to A or C? (from 2002)

Gawdy Hills along the LH corridor (from August 2001)

Tree Rock
A Tree that is growing out of a rock! Once upon a time it was along the side of the Lincoln Highway, now it's in the median of I-80!
Located between Cheyenne and Laramie. (all photos from August 2001)
