Sunset at Lake Guernsey

Because it’s listed in National Geographic Guide to State Parks in the United States, we decided to visit Lake Guernsey State Park near Guernsey, Wyoming. At registration we were advised that the water levels in the lake, which is a reservoir, were at very low levels due to an annual drawdown but that we were welcome to camp here if we really wanted to. Apparently most people don’t since we have only a couple of neighbors. It was a spectacular sunset over the remnants of Lake Guernsey after a fun afternoon of history lessons, geocaching, a meal at Twisters in town (thanks to Yelp) including homemade cherry pie, and a reviving nap in the air-conditioned T@B. We struck up a conversation with one of our few neighbors in the campground and spent a pleasant our drinking peach iced tea and swapping travel tales. Wanzie & Laquiti also enjoy freeform travel. We finished the evening enjoying the spectacular night sky here so far from light pollution. We saw a shooting star! It’d be an incredible place from which to watch a meteor shower!
