Douglas Wyoming, home of amazing food and Danny Lindsey

Welcome to Douglas Wyoming! Yes that is myself standing next to a 10 foot tall Jackelope. Though they don't actually exist this creature has been a legend in itself just from people claiming to have seen a rabbit with horns out of its head everywhere around here over years and years. This little town was the perfect spot to hang out and explore, and we did just that. Besides having a surprisingly big and awesome museum in town, tons of bookstores to get lost in, and fantastic mountain views to appreciate, the food in Wyoming was pretty freaking good too!
  What i enjoyed the most about this trip was the different styles of food that i got to see all over the country, and this area that we were in was fantastic when it came to bbq and different kinds of sandwiches to eat. I have never seen so many different styles of bbq and what we ate, but more on that later. This was near the end of our trip, we still had Utah and Nevada to drive through, but we were definitely excited to be wrapping this trip up. I guess 10 weeks might be a little too long when it came to traveling the country, but hey we took our time to see family, friends, and the sights so it was worth it. The picture in the middle shows what Wyoming was like to drive though. Yes it was a lot of mountains and fields and hills basically but i enjoyed the scenery.

   I do miss my trip, and I think it was areas like the picture on the right that made me really miss it. If there is one thing you should know about me its that i love to drive scenic drives, maybe listen to my ipod after reaching my destination. This was a state where you couldn't help but stare off into the distance because it was simply beautiful.
    Now, in order to appreciate the final picture i have to put it into perspective. This was not in Douglas Wyoming first of all, it was a random little town that we drove through near the beginning out our adventure through the state. We had realized that we were going to have to drive a long distance after this town so we decided to find some food. This was a little restaurant that looked like it was on the edge of the road but in reality you had to drive down this narrow driveway till we got to a parking lot in the back. Keep in mind we were dragging a 20 foot trailer behind our car, so to say we were nervous about hitting something was an understatement!
   Nevertheless we managed to not only get down the driveway but end up in this massive hidden lot where apparently trucks park at! i don't know how they managed to get down the driveway but it reassured us that we could park around there. When we got to the restaurant and ordered i had no idea i was about to eat one of the greatest sandwiches ever. no joke i was amazed by how good this was.
 This was basically a cheese steak sandwich, plus what made it even better was that it had 3 different kinds of cheese on it! The curly fries that came with it were simply to die for; fried to perfection and loaded with flavor. The bread was nicely toasted too, which definitely added to the amazing taste in my opinion. Top this off with a nice cool root beer and you have yourself one epic meal!



So there you go, these have all be amazing places that i ate at over the summer. Im still working on a short film about my trip so when its finished ill be able to show you even more of my experiences and what i saw. As for now this is the end of my food blog, but do not worry i have another idea of blogging coming up! And with what i want to talk about it will definitely be an awesome blog of mine coming up. Thats all for now, till next time thanks for reading!
