The Adventures of Boozer (A photo documentary)

[Boozer]

So I had quite the day. Put about 400 miles on the odomoter and gained a whole new outlook on life. My day started in Denver and lead me through Cheyenne, WY. and on in to Laramie, WY.
So here's how the day played out.

Made a quick stop here

Then drove next door and this is where I also stopped. These places are located directly over the border from Colorado. There are 3 big places and they are basically a Toys R Us for pyro's. I usually drop close to a grand at one of them yearly for the 4th. 10,000 square feet of Artillary shells, repeaters, roman candles, rockets, etc. Quite the place and its easy to spend way to much money in them.

Cheyenne is the Capitol of Wyoming. With a population of 56,000 people it is the most populated city within the state of Wyoming and also the most economically sound. Casper comes in at a close second. A lot of business are currently moving to Cheyenne and they expect the city to double if not triple in size within the next 3 years.

A closer shot of the capitol building. I am always impressed with how clean the city of Cheyenne is.

This is what most of Wyoming looks like. Rolling hills and lots of rocks. I didnt get pictures but some of the rock formations I seen were really cool. This was taken on my way form Cheyenne to Laramie.
... More to come....

As I was driving on the highway on my way to Laramie I came across this thing right against the highway. Obviously I had to go check it out. The statue is located at the highest point of the Lincoln highway its at an elevation of 8,065 feet. Other then airplane rides most of you So-Caler's prolly havent been to elevations over 3,000 feet.

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00208-med.JPG I once heard someone say that Wyoming is so flat and empty you could sit on your back porch and watch your dog run away for 2 days. Now I see why.
.. More to come..

Welcome to Laramie. One of the most depressing towns I have ever been to in my life. The main part of town is decent but the outskirts are very poverty stricken. Most of the people I seen on the outer edges of town were filfthy and in ratty old clothing. It was very obvious I wasnt anywhere close to Denver anymore. Being in this town really made me grateful for everything I have. Obviously these people didn't have much and didn't have much oppurtunity to change that. Laramie is also home of Wyotech and the Unisveristy of Wyoming. Both nationally recognized and highly accredited educational institutes.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00217-med.JPG These were posted on both ends of town. Apparently the town has a meth problem?
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00215-med.JPG Apparently in a joint effort with the state of Wyoming the local Conoco has decided to offer discounted dip as a safe alternative to meth. This place was 1 blovk from the meth sign.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00209-med.JPG Laramies golf course. Well maintained and nicely appointed.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00210-med.JPG Its full of wildlife as you can see.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00211-med.JPG Just a better pic of the deer and ducks grazing in the wild.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...C00212-med.JPG Uh-oh Better watch out for the skunk trap on the 9th. You can't really tell fromt he pics but the wildlife was beautifully preserved in a hard cheaply painted plastic coating.
... Not Done yet...

Went to Cheyenne for business. Made a wrong turn and wound up on the Lincoln highway. 50 miles later i was in laramie.
Didnt get any other pics. I cold called some tow company in Laramie and the guys were playing with shot guns. At that point I decided to head home.
I'll be heading back out to Wyoming in a couple weeks for a week long camping trip. May go back up there sooner for business. I'll definitely take some more photos. There's a lot of historic stuff out that way.

Wyoming is one of the last few states that still gives people the freedoms Americans were suppose to have. Last year was the first year we camped there over the 4th. The park ranger told us to drive out of the state park and just up the road and we'd find a great big dirt road to light up the sky on. We went out there and started blowin sh*t up left and right while suckin down beer after beer. Sherrifs drove by a few times and just smiled and waved at us. It felt really weird being able to do that sh*t legally.
Now I just gotta figure out how I can get some really big, really illegal sh*t over here from Mexico to blow up.
