I didn't rush away from home the first day... Just wandered north past Douglas, WY, with a few stops. My first interesting stop was at this Wyoming State Parks facility. Quebec-01 was the control center for about 1/5 of the MX missiles (Q-R-S-T-U if I got that right), decommissioned in 2005 and became a state park site in 2019. Quite fascinating half-hour tour, just $8, open seasonally.
