The trip over South Pass, Wyoming always elicits memories of past crossings - South Pass in the winter and snow, the beauty of the greener grass in June when the reds in the mountains look more vivid, and driving it in windstorms. We saw lots of pronghorn antelope as we approached the pass. Also, there are the thoughts about all of those pioneers who went over South Pass because it offered the least resistance to their wagons. It never seemed very much like a pass to me, but it is lower than the surrounding mountains. There were still patches of snow at the top during the third week of May, but they're probably all melted by now.
