Today we traveled to South Pass City, about 30 miles south of our house. It was part of the Oregon Trail and its the second oldest city in WY. In the late 1860s, it became a huge gold mining town. Since the gold rush, its been a deserted western town. Its amazing to see how simple things were. Don't let the sign fool you...the population is now down to 4.
