Does it have a name? I'm guessing its that big empty space south of IH-80 and the Colorado border, between highways 789 on the East and 430 on the West. On this map at the link below it appears to be called the Washakie Basin. Wyoming State Geological Survey

My answer was wrong, but Kai Vai told me the correct answer in a DM so someone else can try to answer his question correctly.

The question is: Where is the most isolated, remote spot in Wyoming?

In terms of being in the center of a circle the farthest distance from any road anywhere in the continental United States, the most remote place is at the southeast corner of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It's surrounded by the wilderness part of Yellowstone, and the Washakie and Teton Wilderness Areas.

Thanks Kai Vai. Let's see:

What is the name, and what year was it built, of the most photographed barn in the state. It's the old barn that has the Grand Teton mountain range as it's backdrop. The old weather barn has appeared on postcards, magazine covers, jigsaw puzzles, book jackes, road atlases and travel guides. You've all seen it. Now name it.

I know of the barn you are talking about, have seen the image in lots of places.

I found several names for it:
Barn in Mormon Row
Mormon Row Barn
John Moulton Barn* Grand Teton National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
T.A. Moulton Barn* T. A. Moulton Barn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

* both websites had photos of the same barn, but I think T.A. Moulton Barn is more correct, John Moulton was a neighbor.

Quote:
The T.A. Moulton Barn is all that remains of the homestead built by Thomas Alma Moulton and his sons between about 1912 and 1945. It sits west of the road known as Mormon Row, in an area called Antelope Flats, between the towns of Kelly and Moose.

Great job, T.A. Moulton Barn is correct. For what it's worth, my source said the barn itself was built in 1913.

You're up!
