In Rawlins, check out the Wyoming Frontier Prison. A nice side trip would be to swing off to the south and visit Saratoga. From there you can easily travel over the Snowy Range Mountains and rejoin I-80 at Laramie.
Good travelin! ........Kirk

Also in Rawlins is the former Wyoming State Prison. It was still in use into the '80s. Interesting tour.

Snowy range is a beautiful area for a "side drive". Near Centennial and Laramie.

If you can go without hookups I would highly recommend Vedauwoo campground in the Medicine Bow National Forest. Easy off and easy on to I-80 and wonderfully quiet. I understand it was popular with outlaws and such back in the day. I also liked Firefighter's Memorial cg in Flaming Gorge NRA but might be too far off the interstate for you unless you take the Colorado route. If so, than take a look at Routt NF's Hahns Peak Lake cg and the others around Steamboat Springs, CO. Check www.forestcamping.com for particulars about them.
