Chimney Rock

Since my videos aren’t working for some people, I thought I’d try a different approach and use a new service called PhotoBucket. Thanks Reya, for pointing me in this direction. The quality is so much better than YouTube!

What follows is a video I took while driving to the cabin. There is some narration but I’m not sure you can hear me well enough. We have to drive up into Laramie, Wyoming and drop back down into Colorado to get to our cabin the way we went in. Chimney Rock is a landmark just on the border between Wyoming and Colorado. At the start of the video it’s in the distance, then we drive past it. I always thought it looked more like a camel, a turtle or a giant snail from the side. We also drive past an old homestead that is rapidly falling down. My Mom has always wanted to live there, so I filmed it for her. We do whizz past pretty fast though. The klunk at the end of the video is us driving over the cattle guard at the border. Enjoy!

yay!! Great vid! No problem watching it or accessing your blog.

The wild west is such a different landscape than the east coast. Wow. Almost like another planet.

I agree the rock looks like a giant turtle. I wonder what the Native Americans thought it was?
