How Do You All Feel ABout Living In Wyoming?

Good, Mike Tyson will get as much funding he wants for a the Movie.

WY took away personal belief and religious exemptions for vaccines for kids to attend school. I'd say that's pretty damn blue already. Possibly even more blue than were you're moving from. The only states to do the same are CA, NJ, NY and MS. Covertly blue. Beware.

Other than the Black Hills; there is absolutely nothing in South Dakota; it is almost like a desert the state is.

The Black Hills are very nice.

i remember rolling hills, tall grass, wind, and no trees.

you have to be dedicated to want to live there. the people
aren't stupidly woke there, though.

Most of the towns outside the Black Hills in the western part of SD see around 12 to 15 inches of precip on the year.

Rapid City may see 20.

Very very dry.

In 3d

"feel the blows'

Cold as fuck

Well I have lived in the Black Hills and also in Rapid City for almost 6 years now; and you just go a mile out of town you are out in the hinterlands; a quick transition to nowhere.

To get into the Black Hills you go west up 44 and one mile west of Rapid City you are already climbing the mountain about to enter the National Forest. Very scenic.

Good work.

Depending on where you live in MN, you will find homes are a bit more expensive. You will want an extra freezer and will make destination trips to places where you can find stores like Costco. Depending on where you live getting goods delivered will cost you more and Amazon doesn't care about how you feel about it. If you enjoy outdoor activities, you will enjoy it. Great fishing, camping, hunting. No state income taxes. I live in ND, my brother lives in WY, I am considering moving to SE Minnesota

Funny thing is; because I have taken 80 across Wyoming; it starts out as the Plains; as you would find in Western Nebraska; and then you go through Cheyenne; which is a dreadful city; I couldn't find a hotel in the whole town; I mean I'm sure there are a couple; but a real railroad depot and chemical plant town and that's it; then you go up into the mountains and through Laramie; which is a pretty town; and then you come down and IIRC it was mostly desert the rest of the way into Utah. 80 of course runs along the southern border of Wyoming.

The highways in Wyoming do close when a decent snowstorm moves in; gates shut the highways down and a flashing sign will say "Return to (fill in the blank / whatever town you are trying to leave).

Lived there a few years back. Has lot's of smaller towns. The people are nice.

I loved it there. My spouse did not.

Partial BS. Lived there for years, in three different cities.

Humid? Never.

Wind? It's not that bad once you get used to it. Northern Wyoming gets less of it, as does Western Wyoming. Just be careful not to get stuck driving in it on highways with inexperienced truckers.

Not all beautiful areas are cordoned off. There is BLM and tribal land, but overall there are plenty of accessible areas.

Suicide rate across mountain states are higher and Wyoming is working hard to increase mental health and prevention.

Boring? Gossip? Nothing to do? Well, I don't attribute those things to Wyoming because it's dependent on who you are and associate with. I've experienced all three of those myself in places like Orange County and Las Vegas (once you see through the tourist offerings)


Groceries are slightly more expensive and yes, if you live outside a decent sized Wyoming city, and that bothers you, then you probably shouldn't embrace that lifestyle.

I love Wyoming and aim to retire there.

Go Pokes

Entirely inaccurate, but you won't be told that if you hang with that particular brand of Wyomingites that gets triggered over temporary practices. Some cities were worse than others, but most DAs told em to f off.

So one month less than Minnesota . . .

I haven't been to Wyoming in 10 years and the Jackson Hole area in 20 years so I'm sure it's different from my experiences now. Also my experiences with the "culture" and the "people" are limited as I've "mostly" only spent time in Wyoming on hunting trips.

I've hunted all over Wyoming though.

The landscape is amazing in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton areas. While we can't hunt "inside", where we do hunt the Tetons are still looming over you. I'm godsmacked everytime I see them.

Based on the fact that Jackson Hole was already filled with "progresive" asshats 20 years ago I can imagine much of the North West of Wyoming is probably filled with it by now.

The Black Hills area is kinda cool up in the North East of the state. Though after you see the devils tower once you dont really need to see it again. After that you'll realize the South Dakota side of the Black Hills is cooler.

As far as the rest of the state? Well, beware of any landscape that is flat, or with low rolling hills, with no trees. That means its been windy as shit for millions of years.

Also it's cold as hell and windy as hell in most of the areas I've been. It gets hot in the summer, which is only like 2 or 3 months out of the year, but it's only hot "in the sun". When you step into the shade or when the sun goes down you are cold as shit again.

As far as the "culture" and the "people", outside of Jackson Hole, which is a completely different type of "unenjoyable" experience with people for me, it's definitely a country/cowboy culture at least where I've been. However if you come from a fast paced area like I do it may be extremely frustrating for you.

Most of the people I met while hunting or in the small towns scattered around Wyoming are really good people. However everything moves at a much much much slower pace. Stoplights seem to be red for 10 goddamn minutes (I'm sure it only seems that long), people drive slow as fuck. People walk alow as fuck. People talk slow as fuck. It's infuriating. You'll swear every single person you meet is a goddamn moron. They aren't, they just live at a MUCH different pace. For short periods, in small dosage, it's not that big of a deal.

One time though, back in the 90's, my wife and I got stuck in Wyoming for a month. I don't remember the name of the one horse town we got stuck in but it it was somewhere in the south/east to south/central area. There was absolutely nothing to do except drink and fuck. While always a favored passtime even that gets a little monotonous if its 24/7 for a month.

After 2 weeks there I flipped out and went insane. If someone was trying to talk to me I'd start getting pissed off and tell them shit like "come on spit it out before I wring your scrawny neck!" or "do you even have a point? I'm not waiting around until next week to find out".

The last 2 weeks were miserable. I almost went postal a dozen times. All the "townsfolk" by then made sure not to talk to me or piss me off in other ways. We got kicked out of our hotel room because I threw a dresser through the wall. It was rediculous, I have never lost my cool like that. My wife almost left me and I didn't blame her.

Anyway, I was much better after I got out of Wyoming thank you for asking ;p

I don't believe that the government has any right to my children's medical information - not even to attend school. I shouldn't have to sign any documents telling them to FO. This reason alone is enough for me to consider homeschooling.

Try Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, real red states, not Cheney's Wyoming.

Cold sob too!

20 year resident here.

I can assure to you - Jackson Hole (as well as Yellowstone) is NOT Wyoming - despite what the lines on the map may tell you. Everyone in Jackson Hole are 'from' somewhere else.

Everyone I know here absolutely hate the Cheneys.

I’m hearing some positives out of IOWA.
Again Cold & Windy

Not as Cold and gale force as Wyoming though.

As mentioned the northwest corner of South Dakota is Splendid.

Except the middle of July thru middle of August around Sturgis.

Unless you like Smelly Bikers & Tattoos.

If you plan on voting for Trump, you will feel at home there. Along the 80 freeway its windy as hell and desolate. The mountains in the north west are amazing. Rest of the state sucks. I think the shale boom brought in too many young trouble makers that ruined parts of the state.
