The Continental divide runs through Rawlins and from the looks of the map, water draining on the west side of Main St. flows to the Pacific, and that on the east side to the Mississippi. (I saw a couple of cowboys pouring liquid on Main street and I think that’s what they were checking out)
The North Platte originates here and when you drive east out of town toward Laramie (the man from Laramie, he had so many notches on his gun . . . danger was this man's speciality . . ) you climb to 8600 feet on I 80. There are barriers on the interstate that they lower when it storms with instructions to return to Laramie or Rawlins.
The shots are from around Laramie, a place I could spend a few days watching how real cowboys live.
The Colorado truck is included to show that there are more bugs on the Eastern side of the Continental Divide than on the West.
