Donations to help revitalize the prison... and one by the Anonymous business. | |

My attempt at artistic photography. | |
Now, on to Cheyenne.... |

Yep - Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming. | The other thing the lady at the visitor center mentioned was all the boots in cheyenne. It took awhile for us to locate the first one, but once we did... |
A former train station, now used for shops and restaurants. |
