Casper is an incredible place. I call it the “largest small town/smallest big town” in America. My wife is a native of Casper. She introduced me to Wy and, were my kids not here in Ok, we would be living there right now.
one lesson I learned from living in Wyoming, never travel with less than half a tank of gas. Lots of barren countryside with few amenities in-between. And winter travel can be brutal.
Thanks to speed-ups, we can enjoy the barrenness of east-central Wyoming quickly here. JUst before watching this, I caught your trio of videos from Billings to Butte...that scenery was way better than here. Having been to Wyoming before, I can definitely say taking hilly and windy 2-lane roads is the best way to enjoy it.
Big, Windy Wyo. It has a stark beauty all it's own. Well, except for Jeffrey City, where I was working in a uranium mine (for only about a month). Decided that my health and being able to breath was a whole lot more important! 🤣
Some superb footage of Wyoming high country! 3:52 I'm surprised this isn't common practice in most US states? It's common practice in Australia on rural freeways (as it would cause too much congestion on the busy urban ones).
Thank you! I wish more states would do this just for the fact is way safer on the construction workers and they don’t have to be close to moving vehicles.
It's such a peaceful drive little traffic to contend with, still better have plenty of fuel and supplies when driiving. It kind of reminds me of I-20 in western Texas along with I-10. Wyoming along I-25 seems to be higher in elevation. Great video as always Kyle. Will be traveling east to North Carolina in mid September!
Yes, it seems that a lot of rural states do this simply because it's so rural that it doesn't affect traffic that much to have only 2 lanes of traffic instead of 4.
Nice video, even if it's a boring drive. Have a decent music playlist, plenty of coffee, tea, or soda (if you like your caffeine cold), a charged cell phone, and a codriver you like for some company....
@@InterstateKyle I have a pretty decent one: Katrina and the Waves, Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Loggins, Soft Cell, Stevie Nicks, Belinda Carlisle, The Pointer Sisters, Bryan Adams, and a lot of others from the "80s. Makes the CA-58/I-40 drive that I do once in a while a lot less boring.
Can you imagine if CA did road construction in the same manner that WY does it? Take Hwy 99 or I-5 for example: it would be bumper-to-bumper traffic the whole way and accidents galore because it'll be single-file the whole length of the project.

I’ve never been to Wyoming in the winter and hopefully I won’t have to drive through there during that time anytime soon.
Speed limit is outrageous!

Any idea what that purple pavement is made out of?🤨
10-100 (rest area stop).
Will you go to Philadelphia and do an interstate drive there?

That’s crazy! Glad you decided very quickly on the career change there my friend!

One thing you can do is mute the music then play Aaron Copeland's Rodeo or Billy the Kid an get you in right frame of mind
Another great video thanks Kyle
Thanks Mike!

Thanks Robert! I hope you enjoy you’re upcoming trip!
It looks lonely driving in Wyoming lol no stops and nothing in the horizon
There are some views of the Bighorn Mountains to the west, which are not obvious when looking straight ahead.
In Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri thats how construction works same with South Dakota workers work on one side traffic on the other side!!!
That’s great! More states should do it like that!

Thank you Matt! Music can make any drive fun!

Battling along I-25 here in Colorado Springs, I often wish my local section of highway was as calm and relaxing as this!
Wyoming is very relaxing to drive due to the lack of traffic and wide open landscapes.
They call it I-25 because you can drive for 25 miles without seeing another car.
Thanks for showcasing the final miles of I-25. Not really much to see in this drive however.
Thanks for tuning in as always!
We crossed the Bighorns un 1976 to Yellowstone
That sounds like a really fun trip!

I’ve only Buffalo I’ve ever been to is in New York.
It’s mostly just an interstate junction here in Wyoming. Not much there!
