Throw back to 2014 I My son and I looking at the names on Independence Rock 60 miles SW of Casper. This rock lies directly along the route of the emigrant trail. Pioneering wagon parties Bound for Oregon or California usually left the Missouri River in the early spring and hoped to reach the Rock by July 4th Independence Day. In order to reach their destinations before the first Mountain snow falls. Most names were carved into the rock in the 1840's.
