Day 27 – June 23, 2025
Miles traveled – 6,802
Traveling across the wide, dry plains of Eastern Wyoming, we came into a tiny hamlet called Jeffrey City.
Its official population is 58, but we only saw one guy living and working there.
This is potter Byron and his dog, Floyd.
Jeffrey was a uranium boom town that went bust in 1982.
This building is what captured my attention.
If you are driving down the road and see this, you must stop!
Byron and Floyd couldn’t have been nicer or really any more interesting. Byron is a talented artist in clay. His workshop and store are inside this building. He makes pottery during the winter months and hangs out and sells his work in the summer when the tourists are going to and from Yellowstone and the Tetons.
Here’s what I picked:
It’s approx 10” tall and is created with layers of colored clay. I think it’s beautiful and fascinating and will treasure it always. Thank you, Byron, I’m so glad we stopped.
