Yesterday we left Limon, CO and drove to Laramie, WY where we are staying for three nights at a basic KOA.  At the border we saw a silhouette of a large buffalo on a hill and when we got closer we realized it had cell towers on both sides.  We have seen a palm tree cell tower before, but never a buffalo. 

Today we visited the Lincoln Monument which commemorates the highest point in Wyoming along I-80.  The highway is named after him.  The first thing we saw at the Wyoming Visitor's Center was a stuffed armadillo in the back window of this car.

The statue is imposing and easily visible from the highway.

Here is a view of it from inside the Visitor's Center. 

There were interesting displays depicting the different areas of Wyoming inside.  Gary and I particularly liked the one which told about the Territorial Prison.

For dinner we went to a historical restaurant on the grounds of an old territorial fort.

It is known for its excellent steaks.  Out front it has an old fashioned carriage.

After dinner we went into downtown Laramie to get a picture of the famous Alligator outside the Carnegie Building which is made entirely of welded bumpers.

Laramie has lots of street art, including many different kinds of bike racks.  We hope to see some more of it tomorrow.
