Sitting right above the now defunct J.J. Newberry is the alluring Hotel Rex. Found in the bustling town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, this pastel palace may have mattered, once.

It is an odd mix for sure. Five, dime, and quarter….we were there!

Once the moment is captured, it is never lost in time. Time includes the present, the past, and the future. There are no real differences among present, past, and future because the differences are merely subjective — likewise, the stories we share.

And since we never really achieve self actualization, it is good that you go with “becoming” as really, it’s all we got, and the best we can hope for.

Rock Springs … the last time through, I was a kid. We were coming home from a short vacation at Yellowstone. My mom said it was like if it was still stuck in the last of the cowboy days.

I like to see the occasional bison gore the tourist who gets too close. Yellowstone would be great, if there were no people. As to Rock Springs, I should have kept going right past it. Good to see you David.

When a tourist-bison run in happens, I always wonder what the tourist done. Good to see you Mike.

Years ago, on a cross-country drive, I spent the night in Rock Springs, WY, though not at this establishment.

I’m guessing that there wasn’t much in Rock Springs that created great memories, but then you could have had a fun travelling partner, eh. Good to see you sir.

Just finished this summer 20 books by C J Box, who writes about a character in WY. Makes you want to move there–except for the brutal winters. 🙂

Hi Lilly. There is an openness to Wyoming which is compelling for sure. And you are right about the winters which are cold and very windy. Better for me to visit in the summer and cling to my comfortable home in northern Colorado in the winter.
