Mt. Weekend with Friends

Jason was our guide as the Treysons and the Goodson family explored Sybille Canyon, Laramie Peak and Wheatland. Dr. Steve Goodson, 15 year old Sam, and Martha the photographer

First, Jason toured us around the Sybille Wildlife Research facility where he worked for 5 or 6 years. He helped with wildlife studies, research, gave school tours and ran the visitors center. http://gf.state.wy.us/admin/regional/sybille.asp
Things were pretty quiet as there are only a few studies being conducted (the black footed ferrets are gone).

We did see a lot of elk and Teddy the bison.
Next we traveled through Laramie Peak stopping to take photos and do a little fishing. I almost caught one! Steve found a peaceful spot on the mountain to rest, Martha took pictures and Sam tried his hand at fishing (his first time). Jason was very helpful with pointers and unraveling technical mishaps! We drove by some very cool rock formations, wild turkey, then on to Guernsey for dinner. As evening approached we visited Register Cliff where thousands of men and woman passed on their way out West. Many stopped and inscribed their names on the soft sandstone rock. http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/register.htm

After a long day of site seeing, we stopped in Wheatland for ice cream then headed back to Laramie. It was a beautiful and very memorable day.

Trey,
It sounds like you had a great time with Nikki and the Goodsons. I can't wait to hear more about it.

Boy, Dr. Goodson looks like a VERY handsome and intelligent man. I'll bet he would make a great department chairman. Please post more photos!
