The Medicine Bow Arrow is located in a small airport approximately ½ mile off of Hwy 30 in the town of Medicine Bow, Wyoming. The road to the airport is a county maintained dirt road. We were able to drive right to the arrow. This arrow was the most unique of our trip because in addition to the arrow (which was complete), it still had the original beacon tower (and beacon) & original generator shed. I found this amazing due to the harsh weather conditions that exist here during the winter.
The arrow is in good condition with only a few minor cracks. The tower & beacon are also in good condition. However, the generator shed is weathered and has been vandalized, but still retains some of its original paint. The arrow is only 47 feet in length.
Due to this arrow being located at an airport, use of the drone is prohibited under Federal Law.
The pilot would approach the tail of the arrow on a compass heading of 83° (basically East), and then exit the arrow on a compass heading of 138° (S-SE).
