Being that they were talking clouds in Nebraska I went across the border into Wyoming down highway 85 near Lusk. When I left it took me 3.5 hours to go the first 60 miles with the last 7 taking 1.5 hours. After that it was pretty smooth driving.
After Douglas, WY we went through Lusk because I-25 had been such a mess by Glendo on our way to Douglas. Sat on highway about an hour on way to Lusk, all we could figure out for the bottleneck were some guys trying to get people to go to their BBQ and blocking a lane. Then sat an hour in Torrington trying to go about four blocks because people refuse to merge down to one lane the correct way. Thought we had made a major mistake but saw someone say I-25 was even worse after eclipse, that what was usually a two hour drive took eight due to traffic and accidents.
I knew Wyoming would be a mess with a lot of MO and NE folks because of weather, but their lack of traffic control for the crowds was epic fail.
Douglas itself was really nice though. So many went to Casper or Glendo, the light crowds in Douglas made it so you could actually use real restrooms during the event without a line. We had driven to the rest area on I-25 on our way to Douglas, saw about 250 women waiting outside the building in line, and thought no way it was worth stopping. They should have put kybos at the rest area too.
