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.

Pictures don't do it justice. You must experience the wind, -20F+ winters, and the smoke from the summer forest fires to really know that it isn't for you. Same goes for Montana, just come in the early summer and spend your money then leave. Does anybody speak English? Actually what I really wanna know is how often do you hear mandarin? They even speak English at the McDonald's drive through. I don't think I saw an Asian. |

I've set foot in 42 states last count but none of the ones in the Northwest. Now I've got to at least visit before I leave this world........ |

No one knows how to fucking drive up there, everyone goes the speed limit or less, completely stop dead and put their fucking cars in park before taking any turn even on dead roads etc. Its retarded.
The wind is awful too. EVERYDAY. I cant imagine flying anything reasonable (22/44/cessna) without imminent death. I hate wind more than i hate 4 foot blizzards and -15 temps. |

Born in Casper, both sides of my family came from Midwest or Riverton. My wife doesn't see the beauty of the rolling prairie of blue sagebrush. A man can breath out in the open in Wyoming, you don't feel boxed in.

I'm a member who now lives in WY. It takes getting used to. I am original from just out side of Boston MA and spent most of my life working their or in New York NY or just out side of NY in NJ. I'll say WY was a big change everything closes crazy early and everything is a minimum of a 2 hour drive. Having said all that once your used to it WY is amazing. Its one of 4 states that requires no pistol permit, everything you do doesn't have some money making .gov scam you have to work through, and their is no traffic.
You need to pick the right area though. Parts of the state are desolate and awful but I live in the Black Hills section of the state, think northeast corner and its amazing. Still very rural, think 5 troopers and 5 Deputy Sheriffs for a 3,000 square mile area. |

If i had to choose between rock springs and prison it'd be a tough choice... unless I could be one of those land owning ranch millionaires.
