An Unexpected Day in Thermopolis, Wyoming
What began as a morning of coffee and writing in Thermopolis turned into a day of unexpected discoveries. From the swastikas on a century-old building to the outlaw history of the Hole-in-the-Wall Saloon, fascinating museum exhibits and the ancient geology of Wind River Canyon, Wyoming continued to surprise me.
Meeteetse and Thermopolis
A quiet stop in Meeteetse, Wyoming, turned into an unexpected afternoon with renowned Western sculptor Vic Payne. We talked about bronze casting, his family's artistic history, and the impact of AI on art. Later, I drove to Thermopolis, where I spent three relaxing hours soaking in natural hot springs before watching the last sunlight illuminate Roundtop Mountain.
