I have, as it turns out, not been to Wyoming after all. I had mistakenly remembered Dinosaur National Monument to be on the border between Utah and Wyoming. It is not; it is on the border between Utah and Colorado.
That said, I do have a giant list of Natural History Museums to see sometime in my life, including the University of Wyoming's Collection of Fossil Vertebrates and Geological Museum in Laramie, and the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis.
What's Bozeman like? Any adventures to tell about?
I only asked because I wondered if it was "Como Bluff: home of Peterfied Life." It's this place between Medicine Bow and Laramie that is now an abandoned museum, so I was wondering if you'd seen it when it was open

We take second graders on a fossil hunt for one of their big field trips!
Awww. I have to say, the idea of tiny herds of second graders going out on fossil hunts is really adorable. I grew up just outside of Washington, D.C. so there never was a particularly good place to go fossil hunting (there is, as you might imagine, fairly little undeveloped land and what is undeveloped is mostly forest), but I can't imagine such a field trip, were it practicable, would have been anything but a hit among my classmates at elementary school.
