I made a drive by appearance at the Wyoming Territorial Prison because I didn't have the time or…read morefunds to visit the museum. I bet it would be c ool to see though, especially if you're a fan of outlaws, in particularly Butch Cassidy. Wyoming Territorial Prison was built in 1872 and restored and renovated in the 1990s by the efforts of the citizens of Laramie. There were 12 women housed here and more than 1,000 men, the most famous of which was Robert LeRoy Parker "Butch Cassidy". With territorial status, there came a need in Wyoming for a facility to house convicted felons. In 1869, the territorial legislature approved the construction of a prison. The federal government approved funding the following year and two years later the 42 cell facility opened with Deputy United States Marshal Nathaniel. K. Boswell as first warden. Until then convicted felons were housed at the Detroit House of Corrections. Unfortunately, the opening of the new prison did not solve the problem, since the expense of the Laramie facility was greater than shipping the inmates out of the Territory. The Prison charged as much as a $1.00 per day for each prisoner, while after 1878 Nebraska agreed to house inmates in its State Penitentiary for only forty cents. During the period 1882 to 1887 Illinois agreed to house the prisoners for free. Thus, during the period from 1882 to 1887 most inmates went off to Joliet. Indeed, a federal inspection of the Laramie facility in 1884 found only 10 inmates, some of whom were permitted to go into town on Saturday night. Behind the prison on the right is the broom factory. In addition to brooms, the inmates constructed furniture, some of which is on display in the Laramie Plains Museum. To the left of the prison is the horse barn. The barn is now used for a dinner theatre and a museum devoted to the Federal Marshals Service. The small building on the left, is the warden's residence. After 1887, the Penitentiary was overcrowded even with the construction of a new wing. The new wing housed three cells for women inmates and medical facilities. Rules for inmates were strict. They were required, among other things, to bath in the summertime twice a week. In the winter they might be required to bathe only once a week. They laundered and made their own clothes. Among the inmates was Butch Cassidy. Although construction of a new prison at Rawlins was proposed as early as 1886, it was not until 1903 that a new facility was opened. It is an old saw (but not true) that in the distribution of the capitol to Cheyenne, the prison to Rawlins, the lunatic asylum to Evanston, and the University to Laramie, that Laramie had last choice. With the opening of the new facility at Rawlins, the old prison was converted to the Agriculture Experiment Station under Bert C. Buffum as director. The area has now been converted back to a park and museum and includes the United States Marshals' Museum and exhibits as to early ranch life. While at the prison, visitors can check out other sites on the grounds, including the historically furnished Frontier Town, the Warden's House, a Union Pacific boxcar and the Horse Barn Exhibit Hall.

If you come here make sure you go to the Butch Cassidy Exhibit. Due to Covid it's difficult to get around the historical site now.

Spiritual. Spectacular. Clean mountain air, crisp colors, pristine waters, stark rocky mountain terrain, tenacious plant specimens, and majestic animals. And yet, words truly do not do these amazing places justice. We saw bald eagles flying overhead, a moose wading knee-deep in a lake, and chipmunks. I was completely awestruck at every turn. I want to return to each of these places as often as possible for however many days I'm going to be bouncing around on this living planet. Wish I lived closer or was a hardier type of individual who could survive the harsh winters, but I'll have to be satisfied with visitation. Someone told me that I'd feel claustrophobic when I returned home, and they were 100% accurate.

The atmosphere here is terrific. People are one of the most important things to me. If you are new, don't let the big weights and in shape people scare you off.

Hot Power Yoga in Laramie blew me away from the first day and continues to impress me every time I go in for some practice. The staff is kind, patient, and they make it a point to welcome each person who comes through their door, whether they are a returning student or a first-timer. I've only tried a few of their many creative classes, but I've never felt like I couldn't participate because of the difficulty of the postures; all but one or two are offered in a heated room and the teachers offer shame-free hands-on adjustments. The lobby is clean and inviting, with comfortable decor, soft couches, and plenty of storage space for bags and outerwear. They sell a small - but thoughtful - assortment of yoga accessories from outfits to mats to blocks. The hot room is evenly heated and has one large wall of mirrors, a smooth floor, and soft lighting that is dimmed for maximum focus. Music is played during many of the classes, but it is never distracting and actually helps me to concentrate more on what I'm doing in the room rather than what my head wants to think about outside of the room (ahh, life). Occasionally props are used during some of the more challenging/power focused classes, and scented oils and buckwheat bags (for covering eyes during savasana) are used at the end of a class to help return the body to a calm, rested state. Lastly, scheduling classes is super easy and really streamlines the process. It's not necessary to sign up online before attending, but it's helpful in case a class fills up (after work hours and weekends, especially), and the scheduling software gives you a clear description of each class so you can better decide what you're in the mood for trying on any given day. I've only been attending this studio for a short while, but I'll be continuing my practice with Hot Power Yoga for the duration of my stay in Laramie. They truly practice what they preach, and none of it is preachy.
