Even though I attended the University of Wyoming just to the South I never knew it was there.

Well, kind of a bummer. I found the reference to it on RTH, from July 8, 2007. A thread Steve Holmes started. But alas, the pictures were deleted from his album. (Not caused by PB fiasco)

No photos, but at least the story, for what it's worth:

link - interesting rock. more pics added

We had the opportunity to drive by this area on Thursday, so we took a few pictures.

As you can see the place has deteriorated a bit since the picture at the beginning of this thread was taken.

The stone house building:

Close up to the bone building:

And the historical site marker

Como Bluff:

We also stopped at the Medicine Bow Museum. Out side is a monument to Owen Wister made mostly of Petrified Wood.

Wow.. so glad you got to visit in person, and thanks for adding the pictures here! Interesting read on the Como Bluffs. I remember reading about the Dinosaur Wars previously, but didn't realize this was one of the sites!

Love that Pet Wood Pyramid as well!

I Wanna Rock!!!
