DragonRider Posted June 30, 2013 #3 Posted June 30, 2013 I have been to Wyoming once, I used to do courier work from 1987 till 2005, back in the 90's I had to drive my van out to Casper, Wy. in the dead of winter, dont remember the exact month, but once I hit the Rockies, I had snow most of the way, not bad going up, made it without delays, but on the return trip I got caught up in one of those 100 year storms and it took me over 5 days to get back to New Orleans, where I lived at the time. I had to make numerous stops due to inability to see more than a few feet and really couldnt tell where the road was unless it was just freshly plowed. Spent a couple on nites in motels, and one night in a rest area all by myself, there had to be over 4 feet of snow in the area where I was parked and it was only covered by a few inches when I pulled in. To say it was an experience is an uderstatement. I have always wanted to go back in the summer, but just havent had the time, looks like it will have to wait for retirement which is just around the corner. Thanks for posting the pics, I love that part of the U.S.. Still need to get up to the great Northwest. These are on the bucket list.
Kurt Behm Posted June 30, 2013 Author #4 Posted June 30, 2013 You're pretty safe June thru Sept, but you can never be 100% sure. It's been known to snow in Yellowstone in the middle of summer at night. It burns off quickly but it's something to pay attention to. Part of the Rockies charm .... Ride safe ! Here's some more random pictures of the West, with one additional one from Nova Scotia.
