Indeed it shipped more sheep than any other spot on Earth for a lot of its history, but as shipping went from rail to truck in the 50s and 60s its decline set in. Even at that, it was more of a real town in the 1970s when I was young than it is now. It's real decline set in during the 70s and by 1980 or so its current condition had pretty much set in.<br /><br />Pretty common story throughout Wyoming, really. An impact in this instance in transportation changes.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540124574202762417.post-5191999641406807812018-06-06T21:42:59.384-06:002018-06-06T21:42:59.384-06:00I bought a lot south of the tracks in Arminto, liv...I bought a lot south of the tracks in Arminto, lived in a tipi there for a bit. Now I actually have four walls, and more neighbors. I think what is now happening there will happen to Wyoming's other "ghost towns." As the price of land in the bigger towns goes up, more people will choose to buy elsewhere. Thanks for posting pics of Arminto, they're hard to find- anywhere.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852859802140463227noreply@blogger.com
