Lots of ranches out here have decorated entrances made of logs. This was a really unusual one we found on a backroad...
Jacques La Ramee (sometimes rendered Jacques La Remy) was a French-Canadian fur trader who lived in Wyoming after moving there in 1815. In 1820 or 1821, he left for the season to go trapping along what is now known as the Laramie River. After failing to arrive at next year's rendezvous, a search party was sent out to locate him. Accounts of his disappearance vary, but many stories conclude that he was killed by Arapaho Indians, which they vigorously denied. A number of sites in Wyoming are named for him, including the Laramie River, the city of Laramie, Fort Laramie, Laramie Peak and Laramie County, Wyoming. 
This was our picnic area this day...
