Ft. Bridger, Wyoming

We went down to Ft. Bridger today for an Easter Egg Hunt. It didn't go so well. We missed the opening horn by about two minutes, and as a result, we didn't end up with any eggs. Bummer.

We got over that pretty quickly, though, and decided to go for a walk around the old Fort. It's a fascinating place, with a lot of history. It's name comes from the Jim Bridger, a trapper and trader who helped explore much of the west, and, if memory serves, helped discover South Pass. That discovery helped enable the significant migration of thousands of persons throughout the west. Other than that, I don't know much about the Fort. Sorry.

I ended up shooting a few pictures, and I thought this one was kind of interesting:

It's not much to look at on its own, but after a little post processing, I thought it was kind of fun.
