Quote HistoryQuoted:
I lived in Gillette, WY, for two years. They have Winter, Still Winter, Not Winter, and almost Winter. And the wind blows almost every single day. Not gentle breezes, I mean wind. One "spring" night, the wind took the heavy tarp I had over my motorcycle, secured with four bungee cords. In the morning, I found exactly one bungee hook still on the bike, and the tarp and other three bungees were all just gone. Our first year there, it snowed 28 inches on April 24. Or was it 24 inches on April 28? Either way, it got so bad that local police issued decree that NOBODY was allowed to drive outside, not even snowmobilers, as the cops didn't want to have to come recover your dead frozen ass in negative 40 windchill with 5-foot visibility from the snow blowing sideways in the hurricane-force winds. I really like the summers there, though. All 9 days of it. We saw some snow in every single month of the year except July and August. On June 4th, the day before headed back down south and east to see family, it snowed half an inch before noon. On June 4th. Good parts were independent-minded folks, drive-through liquor stores open on Sunday morning, and seeing lots of antelope, mule deer, moose, bear, etc. Had to go to Buffalo or Sheridan to start seeing moose, bear, up in the Bighorn Mountains. But that winter.......yeesh....... What you meant to say was: Almost Winter Winter Still Winter Road Repair |

I loved the concert, but even with hearing protection, it was too fucking loud. The windmills are outside of Medicine Bow, up on Shirley Basin. I believe it's the windiest place in the U.S. In the winter, it's one of the most scary places to be when driving during a snow storm. I've never felt more alone than up on that road pushing snow with no tracks in either lane, and getting dark.

Thanks for the answer. I grew in Scottsbluff, NE and spent alot of time in Torrington. My father lived in Wheatland for many years as well. I have done a lot of elk hunting around Douglas. Love WY just wish I could make a living there. You should move to Scottsbluff and harvest sugar beets for a living. That is my advice for you. God bless. Years ago my family owned all the land west of the beet factory. I have had my fill.

True, but we do have an insidious personal income tax, which Wyoming prudently lacks. It's like John Galt founded your state and Chairman Mao runs ours. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm sure it's great! You can probably get a small ranch for whatever your house in Georgia is worth. Unlike Montana and it's overinflated prices. Montana has no sales tax, and is much more beautiful. True, but we do have an insidious personal income tax, which Wyoming prudently lacks. It's like John Galt founded your state and Chairman Mao runs ours. Lets not even get into MT vehicle registrations costs. Jesus. 
Montana educators are damn near volunteers. My wife works for a non-profit involved with rural school districts and as a glorified secretary, makes about twice the avg teacher salary. Any "pretty" part of MT can be summarized as: Crazy Income tax Insane vehicle reg costs Beyond insane real estate prices Liberal college town hippies and granolas Pine beetle infested trees A "mud season" that is 3 months long A summer that is 60 days long No elk because of wolves Busted ass 1987 Subrarus or 2015 Range Rovers (no in between) Potholes GA man would be MUCH happier in Wyoming.

Windiest damn place I've ever been in my entire life. I was shooting with a friend and fellow ARFcommer just about 15 miles or so south of the WY border once. I had famously told him that "Colorado doesn't have wind like Kansas." before moving here.
We set up a Texas Star, which, all told, probably weighs around 100lbs or so. A few minutes later, the wind got so bad that it knocked the entire damn thing over. And that wasn't even in WY proper!

It's gotten a lot better since RR beets though. |

What's up with the windmill pictures? Really slight HDR? Yes, HDR setting on my phone. I was afraid it would be too much for folks to handle without a little HDR setting on the images.

Today the wind was so crazy, I told my wife to keep an eye out for low flying jack rabbits. Glad I didn't have to drive on i80.

I love your posts, but you make it look depressing out there. I know you guys have trees and mountains and shit, right? It's green here. Until winter anyways. It's kind of the point. We have a very high suicide rate. They say the wind is the main culprit, but those pictures represent 90% of Wyoming.... Not a joke.
