Wyoming 210 (Happy Jack Road) - Eastbound
Interstate 80/U.S. 30 Signage at the Happy Jack/Wyoming 210 interchange which leads to the Sherman Hill Summit Rest Area between Cheyenne and Laramie. This sign is completely typical of interstate entry signs in Wyoming, which differ from other states in that the place name is given in unmodified Series E rather than mixed-case Series E Modified and lowercase letters. Although Wyoming follows the standard outline for Interstate route markers, the specific outline of the U.S. route marker has radius curves which are exaggerated compared to the federally standardized shield. Photo taken by Jonathan Winkler, 08/00. |

After departing from Interstate 80, this sign assembly provides directions to the various parks and recreational sites located near Sherman Hill. Turn right to the Summit Rest Area and the Blair-Wallis Recreation Area. Turn left and follow Wyoming 210 east to Happy Jack Recreation Area and Curt Gowdy State Park. Photo taken 09/06/05. |

This Wyoming 210 Route Marker and Post are located near Summit Rest Area (and is seen in context in the previous photobox). The support structure for this sign has also been revised so as to attach the sign face to the mounting flanges using nine rivets rather than six, spaced so that eight of these rivets coincide with the border instead of the sign background (the popular alternate riveting pattern puts a rivet through the bronco-rider's shoulder-not the best way to treat the state symbol).

Wyoming 210 Route Marker near Summit Rest Area. This route marker faces traffic headed toward Curt Gowdy State Park just off the Summit Rest Area on Interstate 80/U.S. 30. This interchange is where Wyoming 210 has its western end, just before Interstate 80 travels west toward Laramie. Photo taken by Jonathan Winkler, 08/00. |

The pale mark down the left side is a wrinkle and shows where the sign fabricators failed to keep the sheeting (which has adhesive on its back side) straight and wrinkle-free when applying it to the aluminum substrate; the crease probably indicates where one backing paper ended and the other began.

Wyoming 222 is a minor state route, but it serves as a connecting route to the military base. Turn pockets are in place for north and southbound Wyoming 222 from Wyoming 210. Photo taken 09/06/05. |

Happy Jack Road travels east toward the Laramie Mountains and Sherman Hill. This is a more scenic alternative to Interstate 80 and U.S. 30. Photo taken 09/06/05. |
