Not sure if I'll be staying in St. Louis or KC my first night but thanks for the recommendations.

No problem, did a baseball/beer tour of them both for my bachelor party earlier this summer, had a great time.

Then drove up through Colorado and Wyoming to Montana for the wedding, we stopped in Fort Collins though, just drove through Denver.

yeah - i spent a week in Cheyene....not much there. however if you are interested, there is the US Strategic Missle Command HQ there.

if you decide to stop for food - hit up Sanford's in Downtown - they have fantastic food man.

I'd recommend 2 Doors Down off E. 17th street in Cheyenne...but in all honesty, just drive past Cheyenne.

If you stop in Laramie, eat at The Crow Bar or Roxie's

If you go up I-25 stop in Buffalo and eat at the Dash Inn or The Winchester, or just save your appetite for Rib and Chop or Powder River Pizza in Sheridan. Go to the Mint Bar in Sheridan and get really fricked up

yeah - Cheyenne was pit of nothingness. Wyoming, while very pretty - is just too much nothingness. i had to drive an hour north every day for a week and back to work when i was there.

Once you get past Casper, it's the most beautiful place on earth, IMO. But that southern half is just miserable. The only thing saving Laramie is the University and Colorado girls

In Amarillo, "Home of 72 Ouncer"

Elaborate Western chandeliers, dripping with horns, hang over long tables. The "Big Texan Singers" belt out their classics. There's a shooting gallery - indoors. A caged, live rattlesnake. Horned deer and elk heads hanging on every wall. The biggest (wooden) bull in Texas. And a colorful, non-stop parade of customers (including cowboys).

are you working with Xanterra? I too have lived in Yellowstone.

ETA: I see you're going to be a ranger. They usually just give Xanterra employees DUIs.
