Emigrants walked next to their wagons and wore a rut of their own - I am standing in the rut they walked. ![]() Another angle of the Deep Ruts, Guernsey, Wyoming: ![]() Alvah H. Unthank was 19 years old when he arrived at Register Rock in Guernsey, Wyoming and carved his name (his nephew and grand-son carved their names underneath): ![]() Just a week later, Alvah succumbed to cholera and was buried next to the ruts outside of Glenrock, Wyoming: ![]() Swale on hill outside of Esterbrook, Wyoming: ![]() Last edited by HighlandLady; 04-02-2008 at 05:07 PM.

Thank you for allowing me to share!! To some this subject may not be to their liking, I am very honoured you allowed me to post here. I have more images of Wyoming - historical and otherwise - but do not want to take up all the space here!
