<title>One Of Wyoming’s Most Beautiful Drives Is Also A Kidney-Rattling Washboard Ride | Cowboy State Daily</title>

Just past Sinks Canyon State Park south of Lander is Louis Lake Loop Road. Nearly 100 years old, it leads to some of Wyoming’s most beautiful places, but it's a rough ride. The road wasn't built for today's traffic. It was designed to handle Model Ts going 15 mph.

He survived the deadliest flood in Colorado history when somehow a floating portable toilet snagged onto his Ford Pinto bumper and carried the car to the canyon wall instead of “over the edge.”
