There’s not much around Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. Not many roads, not many towns. So it takes a special kind of skill to get stuck in a traffic jam within eyesight of the epic natural monument.
On a one-lane road.
In a town with a population sign barely in the double digits.
We sat at a stand-still for close to an hour while construction crews dynamited the road ahead of us. I entertained myself by watching the chickens and a mangy dog outside my window.
That was one town we saw a little too much of, but it always makes me chuckle. What are the odds?
I think small towns like this where everyone probably knows everyone else could make interesting settings for books.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool that they used dynamite though, right?
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to retire to one of those small towns/villages where you know everyone.

We just were there this last Fall. Gorgeous. And you put a smile on my face. We're hopefully moving to Wyoming this year - to the middle of nowhere just like that. And I'm so excited about it!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that where they filmed part of the old "Close Encounters" movie?
ReplyDeleteI guess that's one way to have people stay in your town for a little while! There's a novel in here somewhere, I'm sure... :)
ReplyDeletewow that's way too small a town for me! But admire the fact that you actually passed time looking out the window and not at your phone:)
ReplyDeleteGreat theme for the A to Z. I don't know if that place could be called a town... most weddings are more populated! LOL Isn't it amazing to see how different the world is experienced outside of our own enclosed spaces?
