Vacation Report: Day Two #3

Welcome to Wyoming! We'll also be revisiting Wyoming later in the trip, but the Northern stretch is much more scenic! As far as I-80 crossing the Southern portion of the state goes, there's a lot of road and a lot of nothing much else... except:
The Ames Monument is a pyramid built out in the middle of nowhere, on a stretch of dirt road off the main highway. Originally constructed as something to look at from the train when the railroad cut it's way across the country, when the highway came along the tracks were moved and now it stands starkly alone on the breezy hilly countryside.

Not far down I-80 you'll find the giant disembodied head of a former president watching over you like some giant disembodied head of a former president. I've had nightmares similar to this. It's The Lincoln Monument, between Laramie and Cheyenne and it's a giant disembodied head of a former president. There's not much more one can say.
