South Pass City, a Wyoming Ghost Town
Bannack was cooler, but this was alright.
This is what an old mine looks like. I posted photos of the foundation ruins before, mostly from Montana.
Down there is Atlantic City, the last city before the Great Divide Basin.
This was one of the rare water stops in the basin.
A sign said not potable, so I filtered out of a pot. I'm not sure if filtering algea water is safe.
My lunch, filtering shade station. This was my last camping spot before 55 more miles, but as you can see, not much here for me.
This was about 20 miles before the well: Entering the Basin.
There were more bike tracks than car tracks.
You can just make out the road as it goes on and on.
Not all the storms were big and blustery. This one was cute.
This storm stuck around for about 4 hours, keeping pace with me and eventually moving to my north.
The same storm, with oil fields in the foreground.
At the reservoir we tried to camp on low ground because of lightening. The other tent is two North Bounders from England.
Cow and storms.
It was starting to get really dicey.
The next morning. We survided! I forgot their names, but they are a hydrologist and nurse from Wales who are biking the Divide north-bound during a natural life break. They are moving to New Zealand after this. They were cool people, and as I hit in my tent all night from the storms, I was glad they were nearby.
