A new Heart Mountain Interpretive Center employee has been checking off her Wyoming bucket list. The Powell Tribune reports Haruka Takaku came to the center from Japan. One of her first goals was to drive a “Wyoming” truck. She got to take a Ford F-150 4x4 with the largest cab they make and a 6.5-foot bed for a spin while wearing a traditional kimono, which made it feel even more special.
