The Wasatch Mountains, which are the first of the Rockies, are behind us now and we have crossed into Wyoming.  One thing that was prominent in eastern Utah and western Wyoming was how many Russian Olive trees there are.  The campground last night was full of them.  The manager of the campground said that they are not native but were brought by settlers for windbreaks and privacy fences.  I looked them up and they have small olives which birds eat and spread the pits.  Humans can also eat them but I didn't find any commerce based around them.  People in Utah consider them to be invasive but I think they look very nice with their silvery leaves.

Once we crossed over the border we noticed how many fireworks stores are here.  Maybe it is against the law to sell them in Utah and people come here.  One store was called Piro City.  Even the store at the campground where we are staying tonight is full of fireworks.

Along I-80 there are miles and miles of snow fences and also big areas where they chain up or close the road when the snow and ice are too bad. 

On the way here we visited the Lyman Rest Area.  Since that is Phil, Joli and Macy's last name, we had to send them a picture of it.  It is right outside of Lyman, Wyoming.

The part of Wyoming we are visiting is quite rocky and bleak.  The campground tonight, called The Travel Camp in Green River, WY is just a place to park for the night.  We didn't unhook the car from the trailer and cooked (microwaved) dinner for the first time since we left home.

Tomorrow we will leave for the Cheyenne area.  The Airstream is much easier to maneuver than the big motor home we used to have.  We are having fun!
