Best Mountain towns in Wyoming?

Hello, my people. I've been fortunate to travel all over the country and I've always been fascinated with Wyoming.

I was even able to do a winter season as a park ranger in Yellowstone and of course loved every minute of it. My wife and I even had our honeymoon in Dubois, Wyoming and loved it.

We both are in love with the Northern part of the state, but I wonder what natives think are the best mountain towns?

I'd love to live in Cody, but the tourism and overall expense is just so high. I love how close it is to Billings and of course, Yellowstone.

I've only been to Sheridan for a day, but I liked the vibe a lot more. I felt like it wasn't as close to the mountains though. Am I wrong?

Which places would you recommend for someone who wants to see the mountains everyday, but not pay 1m for a 500/sq foot condo? lol. Thanks!

McDonald’s Monopoly-Style Game in Wyoming

The Wyoming Rewards for Justice Program is offering Cash Prizes!

How to play:

Drive a vehicle around Casper, Wyoming and locate a license plate with an expired tag on the top left corner. Pictured is an invalid entry (Green 12-24) as it is not expired.

These entries do not qualify: Orange and White

Green 1-24 through 11-24 are valid entries. Bonus for: Burgundy or Yellow (any numbers)

Simply send a text message to “CRIMES” beginning with Casper and followed by the License Plate Number, “expired tags” along with Street Where Driving, approximate location (from location such as Walmart or the mall, towards a location traveling towards, such as downtown etc)

*Brake lights out also qualify as an entry, simply replace “expired tags” with “drivers/passengers side brake light out”

Thanks for Playing!

Cody or Casper

I think I have narrowed it down to these two cities. I am going to visit both of course but wanted to ask hopefully some people who have been to either or both or live in one.

I want to be close to nature and hunting/camping/fishing/off roading opportunities. Casper has that beautiful tree covered mountain and Laramie range but it seems like that is mostly private land that people actually have houses on?

Cody is obviously quite near to Yellowstone but I am not sure what opportunities for the tasks I listed above are available. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. My proximity to nature is the main concern at this point nothing else. Closer I can buy/rent to the mountains the better. Thank you!

Why is Rawlins' vibe so...off?

My mom and I were reminiscing about going up to Rawlins when I was a kid to get groceries and whatever we needed from the Pamida or Alco. We both remember it just having a very weird feeling, like the entire town had a kind of bad energy and we always were pretty quick with our errands so we could leave. It still seemed weird once I was a little older and went there for extra curriculars or to see a movie. I've only been through once since I've been an adult, stopped for gas in 2015 or so and still felt bizarre. Like some sort of alternate reality. Did/does anyone else know the vibe I'm talking about?

On the search for Rocky Mountain juniper

Hello everyone. I am trying to source some Rocky Mountain juniper. I am planning on making my friend a set of chopsticks for Christmas. As a young lad he was sent to a wilderness therapy camp and he carved a lot of it during his time there. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

What is the penalty for new residents failing to register their car within 30 days?

I am new to Wyoming and left my car behind many states away with family for the foreseeable future.

Where I live I don't need a car, nor do I have a parking space. I'm headed to WYDot this week to get my new drivers license and register as a resident.

What is the penalty for me failing to register my car within 30 day. I can't bring it here for the Vin inspection, nor can I afford to pay for car ins at the time.

Thanks

Cody WY boardgames?

Would anyone in the Cody area be interested in getting a boardgame group going? I've been struggling to find local people interested in things other than mtg that could play regularly.

Kemmerer, WY mid-May

Will be passing thru Kemmerer to see Fossil Butte NP, would love to look for our own fossils but we will be there too early in the year for the two places I saw online. Are there other options?

Is this a Pyramid Scheme, other fraudulent entity, or legit business, that you recognize in Wyoming?

I do not live in Wyoming, but since my disgusting bank refuses to let me file a chargeback and even disconnects the phone on me, I'm taking extra steps to uncover the layers of this fraud and get my money back. My bank app shows this business (or money laundering company) as being in Wyoming. Has anyone here faced a similar unauthorized charge from them?

I contacted the AG in Wyoming about this, as I am locked out of my CFPB account and couldn't file a CFPB complaint against my bank for not letting me perform a chargeback.

Question about where to move

I will be moving to Wyoming shortly due to work. I can live really anywhere in the state. I am from the PNW so I definitely prefer less flat and more greenery. Is there anywhere that looks maybe more like Jackson but isn’t Jackson because I wouldn’t live their if you paid me. I am mostly concerned with it having beautiful views and being closer to wilderness and less flat plains.

Thank you!
