Glendo WY to Saratoga WY

I will be heading from Glendo to Saratoga in about a week and wondered if anyone has taken the following route and how it is. I'll be going south on #25 and picking up #34, will take that over to #30, from there I was rally curious how #13 is heading back down to Arlington where I could pick up #80.

I appreciate your wisdom

thanks
Jon
  • If you stay on 30 when you go thru Rock River, it will take you thru Medicine Bow, no turns required then straight to the I80 interchange that you would go under to get to Saratoga. Same destination but you travel 2 lane roads, this was the main route prior to them building the interstate. We only use interstate roads when there is no other road. Lots of history in Medicine Bow, worth a stop and easy off and easy on in middle of town if you decide to go that way.

    Sorry, I had the route coming from Casper in mind. You are correct on the shorter cutting off @ Rock River. Last time over all the roads they were in OK condition. Take care as I believe that I80 is 80mph in that area so speed of vehicles may be swift.

    Itchey, is there a better route that you may recommend?

    Check your map, I am sure that you stay on 30, you will go under 80 and right into Saratoga, unless there is a spacific reason to go to Arlington.

    No reason in specific for Arlington. It looks like after I pick up 30/287 in Bosler heading north that it will continue up to Medicine Bow and then down to Walcott but if I took 13 from Rock River down to Arlington that may be a little shorter. From what I see it looks like 130 goes into Saratoga not 30?
    I'm really curious how 30 is up to Medicine Bow or 13 is between Rock River and Arlington. For that matter, how is 34 between 25 and Bosler?

    Thanks
