    I’m a Minnesotan, I love Wyoming. I find some states to be objectively good no matter one’s political views, that would generally be New England, and the Great Plains states like Wyoming, Montana, Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesotan. Characteristics of these objectively good places include good education, good healthcare, strong middle class, opportunity, a good business environment, a good environment in general, and good rooted values. These places generally value hard work, personal responsibility, community, the basic rights of all in that community to participate in the community. These objectively good places aren’t completely along modern political blue vs red divides but to some extent are along old ones.

Some left-leaning people were moving to Cheyenne because it was cheaper and they could commute to Fort Collins for work. Those days are pretty much gone now.

      the average low temperature in Iowa is 14 degrees Fahrenheit. I never stopped riding my motorcycle when I lived there in the winter, and I was born and raised in Florida. I've got pictures of my bike somewhere in 3 feet of snow, and a big ol' trail carved behind it.
      it was a 1977 Yamaha Xs750 triple, with a big fairing and skinny tires. the electric start wouldn't work in the winter so I always just kick started it.

      Jackson is a shithole that brings the entire state down a notch. If you want that just stay in San Francisco or Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, etc.
      Jackson is the epitome of all the wrong that is happening to beautiful places, outsiders moving in and trying to force their ways on locals, buying up land to turn it into ugly and overpriced condos. Driving hard working people out of their spaces. Stop colonizing and stay in your cities, you made your beds.
      I will never understand the mindset of going somewhere else to experience it, just to complain and try to make it exactly like the place you came from. It's like putting a Hilton resort in the middle of the amazon.

    I was in Cody a few years ago. It was June 9, 2000and whenever and we flew from Salt Lick City-but had to be re-routed from landing in Cody to Bozeman, Montana. There was 8 inches of SNOW on the runway in Cody--on June 9th by god! What's up with that?
    We ended up having to drive from Montana down to Cody.

    x 0:13 Amazing shot!
    x 0:58 Awesome clip of the horses!
    x 1:47 Great intro music!
    x 2:13 What a great viewpoint and view!
    x 4:52 For a field trip in elementary school, we went to Buffalo Bill Ranch in North Platte, Nebraska.
    x 8:09 Those stage coaches are supercool!
    x 15:02 Great footage!
    x 16:29 That is where I used to shop when I lived in Greybull, Wyoming, I probably went there 12+ times.
    x 16:50 I remember going there too, very cool!
    x 20:04 Shooting the Winchester '73 would be awesome!
    o When I went there, I shot a Colt 45 (which shot beautifully!), a Sig Sauer pistol, and an assault rifle.
    o That gaming area is really fun too!
    x "Cappy" Mappy hahaha. Awesome nickname!
    x 20:54 Hahaha! That is one of my favorite PSAs, where the father catches the son with drugs.

    x 29:11 Awesome grab on the cabin location!
    x 30:06 Supercool explanation of the area and his perspective!
    o He is certainly a good person to know!
    Notes:
    x I went to Irma Hotel and Restaurant for lunch one time when I went there, I had the Buffalo Bill Burger and fries.
    x There was a Strong Man competition one time I went to Cody, it was downtown and the rest of the streets were closed off.
    o I am not sure if that was a one-time thing or an annual tradition....?
    x There is an experimental log cabin mansion nearby, but the roads were closed off when I tried to go there.
    x I am not much of a shopper, but I still thought that was an amazing place to shop for historical items and for cowboy culture clothes.
    x The Buffalo Bill Center of the West was excellent.
    x I remember thinking the Sierra Trading Post there was particular great too.

    Also, in reference to Old Trail Town, you mentioned that the buildings are replicas, but they are indeed original buildings from all over this region. Bob Edgar started Old Trail Town on the original townsite of Cody (then called DeMaris Springs) and he personally dismantled the old cabins and buildings, then carefully reassembled them on the site.

      That's a nice thought, but I don't think that's why. High real estate prices, horrible weather, entirely homogenous population, no real social welfare policies in place, terrible job market , bad healthcare and basically nothing to do are the reasons people don't move there. Nice place to visit and probably a good place to grow up, but I think it would be hard to move there from anyplace else

      The combination of the other factors add to the low quality of life.
      WY is on top of the charts for suicide, depression, divorces, etc.
      Cheyenne was ok because I had CO to go to for all my needs.
      Still had to drive 45 to 90 minutes.
      But that’s better than other towns in WY that are 2+ hours away from anything.

    My grandfather did calf-roping at the Sky High Stampede rodeo in Monte Vista, Colorado. The family had a cattle camp on the west slope of Pike's Peak in the 1920s. He had a lot of tall tales to tell about his life at the defunct mining town of Cripple Creek. When he moved to Los Angeles that allowed him to become friends with a lot of movie cowboys, and he would hold poker games for them at his home in Van Nuys. (Tex Ritter, Andy Devine, Gene Autry, Yakima Canute, etc.).

    Around 1987, I drove from NC to Montana and back in an unlimited mile rental car. Young and stupid, I know. One thing I recall from back then, if you get off the beaten path, pay attention to the gas gauge. It is not like it is in a city back East, with a gas station every few blocks. Anyway, we drove across Wyoming to Yellowstone, then on to Butte, then back through South Dakota, then Kentucky. We have a beautiful country that can't really be appreciated from the air.
