Wyoming has to be one of my favorite states, having the lowest state population and some incredible wild country.  Being a Wyoming resident briefly, I feel that I have some sense of sentimental attachment to the mountains of Wyoming. Over the last several years, the Wind River Range of Wyoming has become one of my favorite destinations.  No roads cross the entire range, and most of the range is designated wilderness, consisting of the Fitzpatrick, the Popo Agie, Washakie, and Bridger Wilderness areas for a total of over 1 million acres.  Listed here are links to photos and personal impressions from some  trips I've done in the past few years.

Mind is as spacious as light in this country, as self delighted, able to touch each object, each crag, each fern, each ragged patch of grass with joy.  It is hard to shake writing that, not to fear that so much beauty and peace must be taken from me; but I will learn not to tremble.  I will try to live this happiness without fear.  It will be hard.  I find that I am more afraid of this joy than I have ever been of misery.  Misery I have learned how to manage; joy breaks my feet up, takes away my old words and forms.  What will be left of me when this light has pulled away all my skins?  What words will this light leave me?  And yet, even as I think and write those questions, they seem irrelevant.  I have no choice but to be alive to this light.  I have no choice:  I must let this light do to my spirit and my words what it has to.  Having no choice, I find I walk very fast and lightly, hardly touching the ground at all.
