Gooseberry Road

About halfway between Thermopolis and Meeteetse is Gooseberry Road. Look for it on the right, immediately before the rest stop.

Hgwy WY-120 between Thermop and Meeteetse

From Goosberry Road we travelled on to Meeteetse. Here are some photographs along Highway WY-120.

Meeteetse, WY, part 3

In downtown Meeteetse, we turned off of WY-120 and onto WY-290 which eventually becomes Pitchfork Road. We followed that until we came to a side road which Google maps calls "Road 4Eu." That's where we started taking these photographs.

Boysen Reservoir, part 4

Just south of Boysen Dam is a small beach next to the reservoir. It's nothing impressive, but it's unusual given the semi-desert terrain which surrounds it.

The shot below looks north along US-20. To the left of the picture is the beach down below.
