Hiking Garden Creek Falls at Rotary Park in Casper Wyoming
On this Airstream Life vLog, we go out hiking on a Saturday morning in Casper. We head up to Rotary Park to see the Garden Creek Falls. It was a very pretty waterfall and we loved that we could get right up to it! The hike to the actual waterfall was short but there are a number of great trails around it that also give great views of the city of Casper down below. We also got to see an array of gorgeous wildflowers. After hiking we went looking for fisherman at a bunch of parks on the North Platte River with little luck. O well. Time to hunker down for the rain!

Roaming in a Herd of Wild Horses near Laramie Wyoming
On this Airstream Life vLog, we go on one of our favorite adventures to date. We take a 2-hour tour at the Deerwood Ranch Wild Horse EcoSanctuary where we go out in an ATV and get to learn about the history of the ranch and then roam among their herd of 350 wild horses. This ranch works with the BLM to feed the horses and helps get them off the public lands. It is amazing to be able to go among the horses and be part of the herd. Some of them are super curious and even come up to sniff you and the ATV. Between the horses, the wildflowers and the mountains it was an absolutely gorgeous morning and we would recommend it to anyone!
After being awed in the morning we headed into Laramie for lunch at a brewery. We walked around downtown to see the cool mural project and finally ended up at the University of Wyoming to see their T-Rex statue. Wish we could spend more time in Laramie but we have to move on!

1920s CASPER WYOMING SALT CREEK OIL FIELD PETROLEUM PRODUCTION NITROGLYCERIN FRACKING 58314
Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit
Made in the late 1920s or early 1930s, this silent movie made by the Burlington Railroad and titled Petroleum shows the oil industry in and around Casper, Wyoming including the Salt Creek Field. The Salt Creek Oil Field around the town of Midwest, Wyo., about 40 miles north of Casper, is still producing oil today and was at one time the largest producing oil field in the world. At 1:12 a sweeping panorama reveals the working field while at 1:25 hundreds of pipes -- possibly thousands -- await disposition. At 1:38 an oil well is constructed as a concrete foundation is laid. At 2:16 the steel tower is erected. At 2:30 the drill is ready for the drilling crew and at 2:40 drilling commences. At 3:24 a drill bit heads down into the shaft. At 4:05 nitroglycerin is prepared for shooting the well. This is a form of fracking that utilizes explosives -- using an iron container about the size of a large thermos, nitro, stick a blasting cap on it, send it down the well, and then send a weight down to detonate it. BOOM. At 6:07 a gusher is produced. At 6:30 pumpjacks are seen pumping oil into receiving tanks.At 7:40 the electrical plant powering everything is shown. At 8:25 a gas plant is shown. At 9:30 crude oil is pumped to a refinery 45 miles distant via a pipeline. Various stills where different types of refined product made are shown. At 12:00 a paraffin plant is shown. A million pounds of paraffin wax are shipped per week according to a title card. At 13:16 drums of oil are loaded for shipment on railroad boxcars. At 14:10 a worker cleans coke from the stills, an incredibly dirty job. At 14:40 coke is loaded by wheelbarrow into railroad cars. At 15:20 tank cars are filled with product. At 16:47 some of the staff of the Burlington Railroad are introduced including J.G. Grisinger, superintendent of the Casper Division. (According to an issue of the Burlington Hawk-Eye Gazette, Mr. Grisinger left the job at Casper in 1931 to take a job in Burlington, Iowa, so this dates the film to about 1930). Also shown is trainmaster Hinshaw, master mechanic Melker, agent G.S. Scott and others.
The Salt Creek Oil Field is located in Natrona County, Wyoming.[2] By 1970, more oil had been produced by this field than any other in the Rocky Mountains region and accounted for 20 percent of the total production in Wyoming.
Petroleum seeps in the area were known before 1880, but oil strikes near Lander led to claims by Schoonmaker and Iba. In 1889 the first well to strike oil was drilled in the Shannon pool by P.M. Shannon, president of the Pennsylvania Oil & Gas Company, who in 1895 built an oil refinery in Casper to process the oil. Dr. Porro, an Italian geologist working for the Dutch company Petroleum Maatschappij Salt Creek in 1906, located the Dutch No. 1 near a large oil seep south of the Shannon wells, which was drilled in 1908. The gusher well reached an oil sand after drilling through 1,000 feet (300 m) of shale.
In 1915, a portion of the Teapot Dome was made Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 3.

Riding a Wagon Across the River at the National Historic Trails Center
On this Airstream Life vLog, we head to the National Historic Trails Center in Casper Wyoming. This is a free museum run by the BLM. It was a great stop! The artwork was beautiful, the exhibits taught us a lot, and there was a lot of interactive information which we love! I got to ride a covered wagon across the river, luckily I made it safely across ;) Afterward, we headed into downtown Casper to try and catch an event at Davis Street Station. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the movie we had planned, but it was still a fun evening exploring the city.
