I’ve visited it since the 50’s. It really breaks my heart to see what it has become. It was fun to visit when they had a store, post office, motel and the other tourist traps. They tore all of that down and I sure do miss it. At one time it was one of Wyoming’s major draws. They advertised it right next to Devil’s Tower. But it doesn’t even have a good place to take pictures now, due to that obnoxious fence! Please Wyoming, you can do better than that!

This shows how extremely periodic the destruction of the surface is for the Great Spirit, where is all the water of the sea that covered the upper Great Plains? How did all these hard surfaces form? There are even signs that the world burned for millions of years but don't listen to the Hunkpapa, uninvited guests are the biggest party poppers, instead wreck up the party

Kind of like when I walk around Gooseberry Badlands.. I can practically see the cowboys riding up through the gulch in my mind!!
@tedpreston41555 ай бұрын
@@yamati150 Sadly I've never stopped there, because it's been closed to the public for most of my adult life. Gooseberry sounds fascinating! If you ever find yourself near Rock Springs with time to kill, I highly suggest a visit to Adobe Town badlands. Reaching Adobe Town is reputed to be difficult, and that's true, but the difficulty is really just the last couple miles. This place is so otherworldly and fascinating, it would be worth walking the last couple miles! At Gooseberry, you envision cowboys riding up the gulch. At Adobe Town, I envision the tiny handful of people who have ever seen the place, all being as awe-struck as I am! 😯

I stopped by there once on a roadtrip and couldn't believe how amazing it is, especially given how it just...appears. If Wyoming wasn't so dang weird about having national monuments declared within its border, this is a perfect site for one. People like me see a national monument on a map and automatically want to check it out. Hopefully the county or state can get a cool park set up regardless.
@tedpreston41555 ай бұрын
There's an even larger, more impressive badland in south central Wyoming called Adobe Town. It's similar to Hell's half acre, but probably a hundred times larger. If it were in any other state, it would be a national park or monument. Adobe Town is not right next to a highway like Hell's Half Acre, but the extra effort needed to get there is worth the trouble! It's only 30 miles from Interstate 80, and most of the roads between the interstate and Adobe Town are good roads, but the last couple miles are distinctly rough and unpredictable: they are afflicted by the same erosion that created the badlands.

A person who has traveled to Wyoming for work knows that Hell's Half Acre is one of countless hidden gems in the state. Part of me would prefer it stay that way. Although this would be a selfish statement for those who haven't seen them or those who live there... Hopefully, they find a nonintrusive way of opening it up.

I have my ex who's nice enough to give me a place here, but there's no: Bus, help, liberal programs n aid, limited entertainment... I love shooting n bow target practice. Rodeos are cool. I luv hiking up the buttes here too. I luv feeding the deer, and the landscape photo opportunities too. Any suggestions? I need an under the table job/work. Cant work cuz of Insurance pay out. I'm fine now, but i can't work 1 second at McDonald's even. Few more months I'll be free n clear. Ideas for this poor Portlandier ??

Being a native of Wyoming and a native of Worland I have probably driven past hell's half-acre 100 times or more in my lifetime. I remember one time when we stopped we got out and went over and looked down into hell's half acre the beauty of it was spectacular. The other thing that I remember on that stop was they had a enclosure with a lot of rattlesnakes in it that we could look down into and see the rattlesnakes.❤

Can't even tell you how many times I've been by (born and raised in Lander). I can't remember there ever being Any access, always just had to pull off next to the fence and look through. I learned more about it in 7th or 8th grade when we had a Geology portion of science, but apparently it wasn't even open for schools to access at that time (I seem to remember it being Private property). WY PBS, thanks for putting your pieces on youtube. I've not been in WY for a number of years, but still feel like it's "home" and your pieces help scratch an itch.

That's a beautiful part of Wyoming. The Wyoming Veterans Museum is in Casper. My father was stationed there during the war. It's a fabulous museum, 'tho it doesnt look like much from the outside, they have an incredible collection. The Dinosaur Museum in Thermopolis is also plain from the outside but has anothe incredible collection plus a working dig in conjunction with it. Wyoming seens to take their museums very seriously. It' worth spending serious time there.
