These U.S. airmail pilots were risk-takers who became aviation pioneers.
The brave pilots who flew mail for the US airmail service in the 1920s were responsible for many major innovations in aviation history, from lighted airways to commercial air passenger service. Much of what the service learned was through flying the rough skies of Wyoming. These aviation pioneers were rugged individuals who embodied the cowboy spirit.

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.

    • @tedpreston4155
      @tedpreston4155 14 днів тому

      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.
