"By Her Spring Greyish and Dusty Brown Overcast" Green River by mydreamquest

This was taken last Thursday when I was in Green River, Wyoming. I haven't much to add about this city other than the fact that it is very far away from anything and was a rest stop for me on my very long road trip from San Francisco, California to Des Moines, Iowa.

I escorted my father to Des Moines because he was relocating to Des Moines to retire. To get to Des Moines from San Francisco, we left Wednesday at 10am and by 7pm, we were in Elko, Nevada.

At 5:30am, Thursday, we left Elko and by 10:00am or so, were in Salt Lake City. From Salt Lake City we continued on Highway 80 through the Rockies past the red rock mountains of Park City still covered in Snow. Still snowing drying flakes.

80 passes from West to East about 160 miles of Utah's northern region prior to reaching the southern portion of Wyoming. By 1pm or so, we were here in Green River after having stopped in Little America, Wyoming. A city named after a hotel chain.

The people in Green River, those I encountered at a local fast food place called "the Arctic Circle" were amiable and gently reserved.

The Southern 401 miles from West to East are dull, brown, grey, overcast and occasionally snowing in the low pressure areas even in May. Although cold, the snow was too dry to stick to the ground meaning that in 5 hours, you can easily make it to Nebraska.

• Pros:Quiet, Friendly, Uninvasive Natives
• Cons:Grey, Brown, and Tired Looking
• In a nutshell:An Oasis of Great Greyish Dusty Brown Nothingness
