I’ll be driving every mile of state highway in Wyoming, but not for another month. Check back frequently for updates as I swing this site into full gear.<\/p>\n
I’ll be getting started on the state on January 5th\/6th, when I do some sort of drive that involves driving I-80 from the Utah line to Laramie with trailoffs where appropriate\/I have time.<\/p>\n
Sometime during that week depending on roads I’ll either head down WYO 230 and do US-30\/287 near Medicine Hat or head over to Cheyenne and drive as much over there and out Nebraska way as I can. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
Wyoming is more complicated then Washington or Oregon in that there is no public video log access for sign mileposts. The plan right now is to take a picture of the milepost after every sign for my reference, and then I can give an approximate milepost. But I won’t have it down to the hundredth of a mile, which is unfortunate, but it does make my life a lot easier.<\/p>\n
Once I get a good amount of Wyoming pictures I’ll create a nicer header image then just a brown rectangle.<\/p>\n
I’m excited about Wyoming, and the large number of route concurrencies means I have to tackle things in a specific path. I’ve got only two precedents established from previous works, and that’s that I-90 has to be eastbound and US-30 has to be eastbound.<\/p>\n
This sets me on a pretty straightforward deal with US highways\/Interstate highways. I-90 being east means US 87 needs to be south, which makes I-25 south, which makes US-20 east, which makes US 14\/US 16\/US 18\/US 26 east, which makes US 89\/US 287 south (which fits with US-30 being east) and US 85 north (and with that I-180 north). US-30 being east makes I-80 east, which makes US 189 north, which makes US 191 north.<\/p>\n
All that combined makes WYO 789 south, which makes US 310 south. So in terms of US and interstate highways, I’ve got a choice on US 212 to go east or west and US 14A to go east or west. I expect US 212 will go west because US 212 west\/310 south run concurrent in Montana.<\/p>\n
The state route system is…interesting. There’s a lot of weird spur routes and random roads that are little more than ranch access roads. It will be a different experience from Washington, but from what I can tell Wyoming signs its routes well, so that will make it a fun experience.<\/p>\n
I should also note that the sheer number of business routes and concurrent business routes is going to be really annoying to make individual pages for.<\/p>\n
All in all though, I’m excited for this next stage in my life and in highway photography. Good times ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
