Monument to Wyoming Highway Patrolman Chris Logsdon, near Wheatland Wyoming.


This memorial at the Rest Stop at the intersection of the state highway to Wheatland and Interstate 25 is the second monument to Wyoming Highway Patrolman Chris Logsdon.   A second one off of I25 is nearby, but isn't really safely accessible to the public.


I somehow managed to miss this one even though I've stopped here many times.  It may be a more recent addition commemorating this Troopers tragic loss.

Memorial to Wyoming Highway Patrolman Chris S. Logsdon, Wheatland Wyoming.


Memorial on Interstate 25 to Wyoming Highway Patrolman Chris S. Logsdon, who lost his life responding on October 13, 1998 to a report of a drunk driver.  The driver turned out to be a 92 year old motorist who was not drunk, but confused, and who was driving on the wrong side of the divided highway.  Upon Trooper Logsdon's arrival at the scene he was forced to swerve to avoid the other vehicle causing his patrol cruiser to flip several times, killing Logsdon.
