Happy Motoring on State Highway Route 11
Btlicvc It or not, the above ls ercnc—furthermore, a com mo.i s cne—on a regular state highway rnute. one of the most important IJ, Wyoming V'alley and also the .'Idest.

But It Isn't done and the result Is the picture above—until It goes a little higher and is closed - again snd again and again.
