Correctomundo, Claim Jumper. I'm glad you got it tonight, because I don't know when I'll be around tomorrow.

Your turn for the next question....

According to Bonney's Guide to Wyoming Mountains Wyoming has around 56 13er's, mountains over 13000 ft in elevation. All but three are in the Winds. Can you name those three and their location. One is very well known, one is semi-well known and one is not well known at all.

According to what I found, there are four peaks above 13,000 ft. outside of the Wind River Range.

They are (from tallest to shortest):
Grand Teton – 13,770 ft. in the Teton Range
Cloud Peak – 13,167 ft. in the Bighorns
Francs Peak – 13,153 in the Absarokas
Black Tooth Mountain – 13,005 in the Bighorns

It may not have made the list you saw because it was so close to the 13,000 ft. mark. It's possible that it had been identified as being just under that mark by those that compiled the list.
Edit: Here's the info I found on it:

O.K. Here's my question:

What is the highest bridge in Wyoming, and where is it located?
