We left the hotel this morning with the intention of going to Medicine Bow National Forest.   We even picked out a few more places that might be interesting along the way.  A ghost town, a dinosaur graveyard, a town called McFadden.  The most interesting thing was that everything was closed down.  The markers were there, but nothing or noone else.  I guess that's what you call ghost towns...lol.  We did find one small general store where we stopped to see what was there.  Picked up something to drink and noticed a sign on the door that read "electric power to the towns of Medicine Bow, Mcfadden and Rock River will be shut off on July 21st."   Then even the road to the National Forest was closed due to a bridge being out.  I guess I-80 destroyed this part of Wyoming.   We did get back on I-80 in time to see a big statue of Abraham Lincoln.   The road we had been on was known as the Lincoln Highway and goes from Time Square to the Golden Gate Bridge.  And we learned some history so the day wasn't a total loss.
