Returning Home to Wyoming

Western Mountains

As of this morning, I’ll be taking a road trip toward Wyoming to find a much needed vacation. The plan is to go camping in the Western Mountains for four days with my dad and four brothers, then spend the 4th of July in Lander, WY with the rest of my family. This will be an extremely nestalgic trip for me and a chance to breathe in the scenery and experiences. Much of my writing reflects my childhood in Wyoming and my experiences in the West. I’m excited to revisit my roots and gather some more material. Until then, please enjoy these songs about Wyoming:

Popo Agie (a small river that runs through Lander)
