Wick/Beumee Wildlife Habitat - Rest Area

Between Laramie and Rawlins near Arlington, Wyoming, we stopped at the Wick/Beumee Wildlife Management Area. Eighteen thousand acres near Elk Mountain and Medicine Bow Mountain. The area is home to winter grazing for elk. The other animals that also inhabit this area are coyote, grouse, mountain lion, beaver, weasel, mink, black bear, marmots, bobcat and prairie dog, waterfowl as well, there are lakes and streams throughout. The area is closed in the winter to protect the elk but open to camping in the summer. The temps dropped considerably and wind and rain picked up. We realized the planned temps of highs in the 80's and lows in the 60's "predicted" may not be the case. At this point we realized we didn't have enough warm clothes. Check out this place at http://gf.state.wy.us/accessto/whmas/wick.asp The link isn't working so if you would like to look at it you need to type in the link in your browser.
