WY Road Trip - Day 9 (Lee Rex)

Today we stayed in and around Casper.
First stop, the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center:

Curator "Did you see any rattlesnakes on your walk into the museum?"
Kid C "Whaaaaat?"  (I didn't think he was going to leave the safety of the building)

In the Wells Fargo wagon:

Me taking a picture of grandpa taking a picture of daddy taking a picture of his kids...

Love, love, love the flower setting on my camera! (if you haven't figured that out by now):


Visiting our inheritance...40 acres of land north of Casper:


Looking for prairie dogs and antelope:

Saw both, but here's a pic of a prairie dog:


Up next the Tate Museum at Casper College:

All these things have important ingredients from Natrona County:

Going behind the scenes to see the dinosaurs:




And the really special behind the scenes...the extraction of "Lee" Rex, possibly one of the most complete T. Rex fossils ever found (to be determined once they are done), which my Dad volunteers his time to work on:

The kids helping with his corner:
