Discussion: Laramie Labor Daze Outing

For anyone who plans to be at Labor Daze -- Amy Winston and I are planning a group dinner at The Crow Bar on Sunday night. Chime in if you're interested in joining us, and I'll try to get a reservation. :-)

Fun things to do in and around Laramie (besides orienteering) --

• mountain biking


• Friday farmer's market / mini street festival


• 10-screen movie theater


• astrophotography / starscape exhibit ("single-exposure photographs taken from Medicine Bow National Forest and the Snowy Range")


• self-guided walking / biking downtown mural tour with audio


• Territorial Prison historic site


• group dinner with us on Sunday evening (RSVP)

For history buffs, I stumbled across a PBS documentary about Rt 30 - the Lincoln Highway's building and massive popularity in Wyoming, back in the early 1900's when a new Model T could be purchased for just $260. Lots of historic pictures and footage of Laramie, Telephone Canyon (through which it initially ran) and Wyoming.

Lots of people bought those Model Ts.
