Roadside Attraction #2 - The Dude is Alive and Well in Wyoming

It is not every road trip that you get to see your heroes from Hollywood making their ways on the highways and biways of this wide and sprawling land. As we cruised through Wyoming we noticed another vehicle pulled over on an exit ramp. I battered, dusty and rusty VW van. Not […]
