I wrote this after having spent a couple of days hunting with my husband close to Laramie Peak. We hiked for miles and, on more than one occasion, I was able to gaze upon the panoramic views surrounding us. It's just a small portion of our time out.
The land we move across is so different than other stretches of the western plains. Rocks and boulders create the hills we move across. Miles of golden grass stretch out in all four directions and a person can see all the way to Elk Mountain; a slight shift in view over to the Seminoe Mountains; 100 miles or more away. I thought I could be looking down a map. Only a map cannot compensate for the way the sun casts shadows and makes one hill much more prevalent or a stretch of a depression in the landscape that much more distinct.
