Wyoming (appreciation) superiority guysm pole - aka how many Tims have you visited?

[YellowSnow]

I’ve always wanted to go and behold the majestic beauty before Californian and Washington refugees trash the place.

Californian and Washington refugees move back out to Colorado after their second Winter when they realize that it happens EVERY year.

This is the problem with #MyBend. Not harsh enough in the winters to keep out the dirty Californicators like me.

I've been there more than anyone else on the bored unless someone has lived there for an extended period. I was five years old playing in the Buckhorn back when you could still bring kids into the bar. I still have family there en masse and visit every couple of years and for family reunions. My family owns a lot of acreage on Elk Mountain. I had to rustle stray bulls when I was ten back onto our land and that was probably one of the scariest things of my youth. My uncle laughed at me and told me to man the fuck up. I will probably inherit land there and may retire there. If California goes to shit or the zombie apocalypse happens I can drive from LA to that ranch from memory and that's right where I'm fucking going.

Sorry not sorry if you hate Wyoming you hate America and are probably a soyboy and a pussy.

Please send me an address or coordinates in advance of the upcoming apocalypse. I have guns, fishing gear, and four horses which can either be ridden, eaten, or sliced open and climbed inside of if it gets extra cold.

Been in negative 50's without windchill factored in. I can pop off. Norwegian genes.

Minus 50 - where was that? My PR is minus 25 with no windchill.

Pretty sure that was out on the plains between Rawlins and Laramie pod. I was pretty young. It was so cold if you held your mouth open the top of your tongue would form ice. Couldn't feel your face after about 15 seconds.

People forget that the record low temp of Utah (minus 69) beats that of Wyoming (minus 66). Montana is the champ of the lower 48 at minus 70. There's a natural sink hole near the Wyoming border that consistently is one of the coldest places in the contiguous US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sinks

Enough times to have learned an important lesson that 64 ounces of Mickey’s at 8,000 feet is like 256 ounces of Mickey’s and appreciate that Yellowstone is beautiful and going to wipe out humanity some day.

But also enough times to realize Boulder being the Austin of the Mountain region and Missoula being the Asheville are more my speed. Plus, Highway 12 through the middle of Idaho at some point became my scenic detour when forced to travel East to West or vice versa via covered wagon.

We thought long and hard on Missoula for the Seattle exodus, but Bend is a much better fit weather wise. We'll probably get burned up in a fire storm in the next few years, but oh well.

You can always move again after you become empty nesters.

Missoula winters are milder than the rest of Montana, but still pretty brutal.

Just got back from staying in driggs/victor on the Idaho/Wyoming border and pretty sure that’s where we will retire.
Star valley up through all the way to Bozeman May be my favorite area in the country. The rest of Wyoming i don’t care for all that much.

Also we had our Departments annual conference in Rawlins, Wy at the old state prison one time. It was pretty bad ass. Nothing like having your CEO go over financials and projections while you’re sitting in the cells where endless prison rapes have occurred.
