Cheyenne National Cemetery  Cheyenne, WY Wyoming’s first national cemetery was dedicated in October 2020

One of my teeth has been giving me problems — achy, sensitive to cold, sensitive to exhaling cold air. From experience, I know how difficult it is to get treatment close to the holidays. I made an appointment with my regular dentist, and after he ran some tests, he recommended I see an Endodontist for a root canal. Not a problem unless, said Endodontist is in a neighboring town and . . . this happens.  Yep, the Interstate and secondary roads to Cheyenne were closed from Friday to Sunday.  WYDOT had snow plows working, but the wind was horrendous and delayed the opening again and again.  Trucks and private vehicles were lined up in all the major towns, waiting for the green light. Sunday morning I noticed that the interstate was open between Laramie and Cheyenne for eastbound traffic. I knew it probably wouldn’t be too long before all the gates would be open, so I made plans to leave and hopefully be ahead of the impatient truckers and travelers who had been stranded since...

Blue Skies Over Cheyenne painted boot Cheyenne Regional Airport terminal Cheyenne, WY July 2019 Last week, I had an appointment in Cheyenne and stopped by the airport to get a photo of "the boot" that's on display. Several Wyoming communities use fiberglass objects (bison, horses, bears, etc.),  painted by local artists. as a fund-raiser. The boots in Cheyenne are large (eight foot tall and eight foot from toe to heel) and are placed at various sites around town. More information can be found here . The Boot at the airport is decorated with various military planes (F.E. Warren AFB is located in Cheyenne). close-up of the various planes painted on the Boot
