This artifact comes Jessica "Dixie" Mills's Instagram account @homemadewanderlust, where the author documents her backpacking expeditions, and is a sample of her landscape photography. This post in particular comes from a series of posts that traces her time hiking the Continental Divide Trail. In this artifact, she posts a landscape photo from the Wind River Range mountains and captions it with a humorous remark and hashtags about Wyoming being "ugly."
<bold> homemadewanderlust <bold> PSA: Everyone in
Wyoming has asked me to tell y'all that
Wyoming is ugly, filled with only desert
land, and you should NEVER want to visit.
So, I'm doing my part in sharing that
message. You've been warned! <winking emoji>

Visual Text
The photo features a small mountain cirque in the Wind River Range. The photograph is positioned to look down at a small lake with dark blue-green water. Behind the lake is gray, granite mountain with a sharp butte sitting atop it. Piles of snow are scattered throughout, and a green hillside filled with rocks extends to the left of the picture. Above the landscapes is a light blue sky with cirrus and cumulus clouds.
