Laramie - Tie Siding, Wyoming - Ames Monument

When I was in college at Laramie in the early 80's, there was a hole in the base of a corner of Ames Monument that a skinny person could squeeze through. Lo and behold, the Ames Monument is hollow. There's a smaller pyramid inside that was used as a base for the larger shell. It's large enough inside to climb around on. Also, on the eastern face, there's a path on the side where one can climb up to the medallion at the top without too much effort.

The hole has since been sealed, but it was something to do while you were there. [Robert, 05/05/2006]
