Bosler

Wyoming's ghost towns were mostly Union Pacific coal camps, built by the railroad and unbuilt when diesel arrived.

In the Jalan Crossland song, "Bosler," Crossland describes his idyllic dreams of life in Bosler, presumably while living in a distant city.

The on-the-ground condition of Bosler is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.
