More Lander pictures
I keep getting conflicting reports on the exact population of Lander. The below sign says 6,867, but I've heard as low at 4,000. So I don't know what to believe, but what I do know is the town doesn't feel small to me yet. Plus there are not one, but TWO grocery stores. And FOUR gas stations! Woo-hoo!!! Big time!!!!

I have always wandered about Jake Brakes also. There is a similar sign that I see in GA. Check out this entry on wikipedia.

Jake brakes are used by semi tractor trailers. The engine is used to slow the tractor down and it produces a loud noise that can knock you out of bed in a small town such as Lander. Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
