Located on Riner Road (BLM Road 3203) this is a private 40 acre section of remote Wyoming land ideal for outdoor recreation, wildlife viewing, and exploration. As it sits on a BLM road and so access is relatively easy considering the location but 4x4 is definitely recommended. This is within one of the largest areas of unfenced land in the US. While there are some fences here or there, it is against the law to totally enclose any parcel in this area. As such, the land has plenty of wildlife and is relatively open range. You can see antelope, deer, elk, praire chickens, coyotes, and similar critters. Plenty of land to drive dirt bikes or side by sides. To the south you can find a 19th century campground and there are also quite a few fossils and historic frontier artifacts; if you know where to look. There is a whole section of public land immediately south open for public use and so feel free to explore. Just don't forget to bring water! There is no one out here for at least 10 miles. You might see a farmer and or some open range cattle, but thats it, and its very quiet otherwise. Night time is excellent for stargazing as the nearest town is about 24 miles (as the crow flies). This land has no facilities or running water (unless a rare storm blows in) and so expect a primative camping experience.The designated area is on the north side of BLM Road 3203 right past the crossroad pipeline ROW. There is plenty of room for tents and the area is relatively sandy. Vehicles have plenty of space to park alongside the BLM access road. There is a slight hill to the north and the BLM road continues in a NW direction. The land is all around you. There is 40 acres to explore, drive dirt bikes, or just watch for wildlife. Plenty of space to pick your own tent location and to set up a campfire. You will not find much wood, but some shrubs only. I recommend bring some wood with you to get started or charcoal if you want to cook. There are no facilities here. It is relatively wild and so plan accordingly. Nights are quite spectacular since there is little light pollution in this area. There are many animals that move at night, mostly free ranging cattle and some coyotes. Nights can be active, depending on what is moving around. Just remember, this is their area and you are a visitor. You will find plenty of fossils and some 19th century artifacts if you explore enough. We ask that you take only pictures of course. Its best to leave such things for future generations.
