Encampment, WY

Our last full day in the Saratoga, WY area took us to the Grand Encampment Museum about 20 miles south of Saratoga. Fascinating collections of a dozen or more buildings from the mining era all loaded with artifacts. We ventured to an Encampment River Wilderness trailhead and hiked for about 30 minutes when we stumbled onto a pelt on the trail and a fellow returning hiker told us of a fresh carcass in the river. We turned back. Some ice cream at SunnyCup (very kid friendly) in Saratoga soothed the soul as did lunch at the Hotel Wolf - finally! All the day's photos start here.

A 2-story outhouse! Can you guess why?

Accordions!

Lynn's grandma made her a shirt in this style.

Found on the trail. It made us uneasy.
