5 Ayres Natural Bridge
Wyoming Summer 2016

Aerial Photography Using Drones

As I was driving South to Glendo and Guernsey, I saw a road sign to ‘Ayres Natural Bridge.’ Since I was eager to get the drone to the big lakes, I filed the sign away in my memory for when I returned later in the afternoon.

When I was driving back toward Casper that afternoon, I turned off, drove five miles and found a small but charming park crowded with families on their weekend picnics. The Natural Bridge was eroded out by the ever-present North Platte River, and was big enough that parents and children were constantly gathered under it and walked in and across the river in high spirits.

I only found the Ayres Natural Bridge by accident, but it was a memorable little plum!
