      The photo was taken in Sheridan, Wyoming.

      I can’t link directly to an image that shows Main Street in Sheridan around the same time because the spam filter in this sub deletes comments with links so you will have to copy and paste the following to your browser: imgur.com/GVYwtng.jpg

      The date is probably not too far off though because I can’t see any tracks so this photo was probably taken before the trolley service on Main began on August 11, 1911.

    2. Imagine pulling up to the saloon on that. Does anyone know if this photo is actually real?

    3. Two days ago I randomly wondered if you could ride elk and came across this exact pic.

      This is a strangely small world we live in.

    4. Screw Missoula. They always try to take credit for crazy stuff us Wyoming folk do

      This live action remake of Frozen is looking pretty gritty and dark…. bravo Disney!

      I mean many cultures ride Reindeer, I guess it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch if you raise the elk from birth to be comfortable with this kind of thing.
