Independence Rock
Independence Rock is a twenty-plus acre of rock outcrop which can be seen for many, many miles. It was a landmark that followers of various pioneer trail followers (Oregon Trail, Mormon Trail, California Trail and even the Pony Express) watched day by day. It was the goal of these pioneers to reach Independec Rock by the Fourth of July in order to be able to get over the mountains before the heavy snows.
It was the place of the first Masonic meeting in Wyoming. It is marked in our time frame by Masons from all over the world who meet at the rock every ten years, celebrating with a meeting and degree work. This occasion for this ten year period happened earlier this year.
I am told it is something that should not be missed. I know that it is a long time in the future, but I would suggest that you make some kind of notation (on a future calendar??). Check the website in 2019 (or whatever modern technology we have by that time). And head to Wyoming for the 2020 meeting at the Rock.
