    The big white silos are for the sugar beet factory where sugar is produced.

    Ahh, I drove this in June 2022. Drove right through a blizzard (at the higher altitudes). A blizzard's go, it was't too bad. Snow melted as soon as it hit the road. Other than that, great ride.

    Heading north through Wyo and stopping in Lovell. Noticed the price of diesel at $2.36 at the Sinclaire. Almost exactly two years ago!

    Traveled 14A in 1968 when I was 15 car camping with the family on our first trip out west. For flatlanders, we were awed by the beauty of the Big Horns and this drive especially. And there were no barriers or guardrails that I recall.

      Hi Russ, those are sugar bins that store granulated sugar for the sugar factory which still processes sugar beets that are harvested by local farmers every fall. The factory was built by the Great Western Sugar Company in 1916. My father was the chief design engineer for these bins and was the factory manager of the Lovell factory for many years. Many wonderful memories. Thanks for this video! DrC

    WOW,
    You missed Sibley lake, Arrowhead Lodge, and Bear Lodge. I lived in the area for many years, starting in 1950. That 14 used to be a wide one lane road, going up the mountain. That big rock, at the top, was called Steamboat rock.

    I felt like a passenger going downhill in awe of the landscape (most of the time I was the driver). Your window camera is perfectly placed. The drone footage at Bighorn Lake was fascinating on a big screen. I watched it as a moving canvas of color and patterns framed by mountains. Wonderful video!

    Big Wave Russ....was that road on that mountain run held up by a lego retainer. Oh my goodness, my teeth were rattling on that ride coming down that hill. Boy Russ that land is beautiful. I love the mountains. They are grand. However, when you peak over the edge, it can make your feet zing with Wow feelings of fear. Its a long way down. It's like a roller coaster ride. We have been on mountain passes of 1700 feet, and it is enough to make you teeth rattle for sure. I saw your new star, the little Graham the Gopher. Nice. When we were down in Cody Wyoming, it was a sweet little City. Have a great trip Russ. Keep care of yourself. We are watching. Your Canadian friends, Carolyn and Colin Hogarth from Osoyoos, B.C. We truly miss our friends. Stay safe.

    Hi Russ what an awe some mountain pass. Wonder when they started to build it and when was it finished.. Hardship up there in Winter time must have been brutal, must have been some tough hard men who first crossed those mountains and of course lets not forget the ladies..Wyoming sure has it all and most important its still got its sanity.

    If you think it was steep coming out of the Big Horn Mountains, wait until you drive up Sylvan Pass from Yellowstone's East Gate on Hwy 14. It's steep and winding with a shear drop off on your left with picturesque Sylvan Lake just past the summit. But it's still a beautiful drive. There are cliffs between Wapiti and the East Gate that are a rich chocolate color next to the Shoshone River winding it's way down the canyon. Amazing! Safe travels Russ!

    The Wyoming Mountain Road High Way14, like the Idaho 93 Highway, is a trunk road that runs through barren land,
    but it is a very good road despite the low traffic volume.
    It's a nostalgic land for those who have traveled a long time ago, such as Earlowston National Park,
    Tayton National Park and Jackson Hall.

    You didn't mention it, but at the very beginning of the video, before you said "brake check area" there were several signs pointing to the right. This is the road to the parking area and the 1.3 mile hiking trail up to the Medicine Wheel, a very sacred Native American ceremonial site. I'm following this closely because I hope to be in the Tetons in two or three weeks and would like to return thru Cody and back this way, basically the reverse of what you are doing now.
