My favorite uncle (same one I mentioned in your Alaskan Pipeline trip) at one time was a "Rodeo Clown" and he bought me a cowboy hat and my first cowboy boots and took me to my first rodeo in Phoenix at the Arizona State fair when I was 5 years old. Yes, he was a Jack of all trades. He did that for fun, he actually at that time was a police officer for Glendale, Arizona.
My first rodeo was in Jackson Hole, in 1973, I was 12, and still remember a bit of it. One of the cowboys had a steer step on his ankle, and he was one of our rafting guides on the next day's excursion. I guess ya gotta be a man of many hats to live in Wyoming.
This brought back good memories. Years ago I took my kids to see Ft. Laramie and the Oregon Trail wagon ruts. I was inspired to visit it after making contact with a special event amateur radio (ham) station situated at the site. From there it’s a scenic drive up to the Black Hills in South Dakota.
Airbnb looked amazing. Especially the horses. They were beautiful. Omg you went to my favorite place…the rodeo. How cool. Hope you had an awesome time there. ❤️🐴🤠
I've been to the wagon ruts in Wyoming and have pictures similarto your screen shot, I had a hard time getting people to believe those are wagon wheel tracks carved in the stone. We stayed in Guernsey. Ft Laramie had a great book store.
Whenever I think of Wyoming I think of a cartoon called Garfield & Friends. There was on segment of the show where they did a parody show called "If it's on TV, it Must be True!" with Garfield the host. One of the "facts" was Wyoming doesn't actually exist. "Think about it, have you ever actually met anybody from Wyoming? In fact Wyoming actually means nothing here." 🤣 That was a bit of a paraphrase as I don't remember the exact wording but it is something close to that.
Thanks! Yeah the bridges were very cool! And you’re gonna laugh, but I have my iPhone on a selfie stick and I would stick it out of the sun roof while driving 😂😂
@@RyanMOutdoors There are a few times I filmed from the inside of the car, but it definitely makes a difference in how crisp the picture is! I've done a lot of that previously and was always frustrated when a big bug got in the way! Haha
Looked at the link, man I'm hard pressed to pay 83 dollars for a tent, though it's certainly unique. It looks like paradise being out there all by yourself. I would love it
Yeah I figured I would do it once for the experience to say I “camped” on the Oregon Trail haha. It was a very nice area and I didn’t show the places you could hike because I was pretty tired.
@@TravelwithaWiseguy I'll bet that is mostly what the 83 dollars is for, for the experience of doing exactly what you said you wanted to do, camp on The Oregon Trail. Would have a fake covered wagon set up to add to The Oregon Trail ambience.
Love Douglas and Casper when I’d visit family in Wyoming in the late 90s early 00s. Especially the good fireworks year round. But what the hell is goin on with the shakira gay bullshit at the rodeo? Not right

What a great experience to camp out in Wyoming . You 're under the stars surrounded with unique views & fresh air. Can't get any better.
It was a great experience! Unforgettable evening 😊
oh wow, an AirBnB in a tent!

It was definitely a unique experience!
THANK YOU ,LOVE THE HISTORY AND VIDEO 'S YOU TAKE TIME TO DO.

I appreciate that! Thank you!

Loved all of these small towns off the beaten path. So much history. Thanks for bringing this all to life!
Thank you very much! It’s been a lot of fun to go and document!
I grew up in Wyoming around Casper I’ve been to see the wagon roots such a beautiful state
Very beautiful! I’m never disappointed when I visit!

Oh wow he “cowboy’d up” the next day 😂 Those rodeo guys are a different breed. I always enjoy the rodeo!
I am amazed at the drone shots you get. Good job.
Thank you! It’s fun to take the drone up in these places!

Very cool! I’m sure the kids had fun too! Beautiful area!

It was very peaceful at the Air BnB for sure! And the rodeo was great! Hadn’t been to one in a while so I had a lot of fun!

Yeah it’s really amazing standing there and seeing those wagon ruts. Almost seems fake! One of the highlights of my trip!

Haha I don’t remember that one 😂😂 Great show!
I have heard of Motel 6 and Super 8 but never heard of National 9 :)
Haha! I was hoping the rooms would have a more nautical feel as well 😂😂
Great video. I like the river bridge and natural bridge. How do you mount your camera while driving through the towns? The shots are crystal clear!
Thanks! Yeah the bridges were very cool! And you’re gonna laugh, but I have my iPhone on a selfie stick and I would stick it out of the sun roof while driving 😂😂
@@TravelwithaWiseguy great idea. I thought maybe you had a super clean windshield. Lol

Good idea! You could make the young’uns sleep in the wagon 😂
@@TravelwithaWiseguy 🤣
I see they have a statute of the infamous "Jackalope" I thought those were only found in Arizona. 🧐🤓
There was actually a very short period of time in my life I lived in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Beautiful part of the country!
Great stuff! the map with the (red dot's) trail, which one is that? would like to follow the trail as close as possible. TIA!
Thanks! I bought the Delorme Gazetteer Atlas for each state. Nebraska was the only one that didn’t have the red dashed lines for the Oregon Trail.
@@TravelwithaWiseguy Thank You!
During your expedition on the Oregon Trail, did you ever find evidence of people hiking all or portions of it?
Not very often, but I know there are a few people who do to really experience the trail as authentically as possible.
Really rough people. Oil field workers
