Thoughts on Cheyenne Wyoming

The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.

My experience is limited to hunting in that area, but my impression is that of a relatively small town out west...I find that a surprisingly good resource is just to look at Wikipedia to check the incomes and demographics of an area...

Toronto Raptors forward James Johnson is from there. That's all I've got.

Cheyenne wouldn't be a bad place to raise kids. Wyoming is pretty boring if you're not into ranch/outdoor lifestyle. You're a couple of hours or so from Casper, and I know they do a little skiing in Casper. That's all I've got.

eta: I haven't been to Frontier Days since I was a kid, but I know some people that go every year, and one guy that competes in the steer wrestling. It sounds like a good time.

Yeah. Y'all just don't know what the weathers gonna be tomorrow.

do you like wide open spaces? plenty of room to make mistakes, meet new faces, get high and cook steaks.

It's not bad, depends on what kind of lifestyle you have. Eastern Wyoming is pretty flat and barren, gets cold in winter but not a lot of snow. It's only about 40 miles from Fort Collins, CO and about 100 from Denver. Crime is slightly lower than average, think there's an air force base there too.

I go through Cheyenne all the time. Over the last couple of years it seems like the town has gotten rougher (Meth). Frontier Days are always fun, but I prefer Fort Collins.

Not terribly expensive. Sleepy little town feel to it. People are really good. The weather is the major disadvantage there. Not just the cold. Many homes are built with an artificial soil berm on the North exposure to reduce wind noise. I hear in the Winters the wind noise wears on ones nerves.
