At Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park, east of Casper off I-25, cottonwoods cast reflections on the historic North Platte River and lend shade to visitors. A pond with a sandy beach is an oasis in the summer months, while the river provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. For visitors, the river provides fishing, canoeing and rafting. The 315-acre park is designated for day-use only, so there are numerous picnic and play areas. The park also features bird-watching opportunities and a handicapped-accessible fishing pier. A walking path and parking areas allow visitors to explore the many corners of this pleasant park and to view some of the finest wildlife in the area.
Deep in the Teton Wilderness, I have one foot in the Atlantic Ocean. The other is in the Pacific. I turn 180 degrees. The foot that had been in the Atlantic is now in the Pacific and the Pacific one in the Atlantic. I lift my one foot out of the Pacific and, springing off the one in the Atlantic, land with both in the Pacific. Another standing broad jump has both feet in the Atlantic. read more
