070731 - Cheyenne, Wyoming
Cheyenne, Wyoming
What a lovely little town. Who would suspect that besides being the Capitol of Wyoming, it is also home to the largest active air force missile base in the country.
We found a trolley tour that circles the city and hits the main attractions, and once aboard, Val, our driver/guide gave us non-stop descriptions of everything there was to talk about.
There are these large boot sculptures around town (26 in total) that were donated to the city. They started out white, ready for painting and get painted they did. Many professional artists were hired to bring these boots to life, and one or two were reserved for school children to decorate. They are distributed throughout the city, at the Train Depot Museum, … some at municipal buildings and parks and others in key areas of this historic city. We were glad we stopped to visit.
