In the vast expanse of Wyoming, where the heavens themselves bow to kiss this savage terrain, I embarked on a frenzied search for debauchery and stimulation; an expedition that would descend into the hallucinatory guts of what makes its people tick. Here in these mountains, valleys and plains lies not only Americas heartland but also countless portals into realms where mankind can glimpse their own unbridled magnificence.
