Am I the only one that thinks building is completely out of control at the UW? On one street i see an addition to the law college, two 900 bed dorms and a new aquatics center under construction right now. Not counting all the new buildings in recent years in the core and the medieval looking parking garage. Seems a bit over kill for a no-growth school.

Hello!

My fiancé and I are going to elope in the wind river range. Is anyone familiar with Pinedale? I’m looking at staying at Half Moon Lake Lodge or Lakeside Lodge, thoughts on which is better? We will be there end of September/early October so both will be pretty quiet. We also want to have dinner with maximum 15 guests if you can recommend the best place even if it one of the lodges! TIA!

Hey there healthcare professionals! Which Wyoming hospitals or ER’s have tPA (clotbuster) stocked for stroke victims?

Edit: if you answer, would you mind stating if you’re in the field? And what your basis for answer?

I am not affiliated with anything in this post. Just passing on some info for those who might find it valuable.

You all like to shit on Jackson "not being real Wyoming" and how you hate tourists. BUT

Now is the BEST time to be visiting Jackson if you're a Wyoming local. It's the off-season between summer/fall tourism and the winter ski season. Many hotels are offering discounted room rates. And many restaurants are giving locals discounts until the ski season kicks off. AND IT'S DEAD. There are very few tourists there right now.

We just stayed at the Mountain Modern for $99 a night. We saw the 49er was also offering discounted rates. Gather gave a 20% discount on meals. Some are doing 2-for-1 entrees. Specials

And the weather is fantastic. They haven't been hit with too much snow yet. Mornings are chilly, but afternoons are very nice. Extended forecast looks nice too

The South Entrance to the park is still open up to Flagg Ranch. Optimal time to view moose and elk. A few bears still kicking around bulking up for their slumber. The Gros Ventre road is still open deep.

Lots of great stores to do some good Christmas shopping at. They have a target and TJ Maxx so you can skip Casper and its methed out madness.

I am trying to compile a list of restaurants (not bars, unless they serve a full menu) where you can still smoke indoors. Name and city would be great. Thanks! 🚬

Maine native, however… something about Wyoming has always caught my eye. I want to live there so bad, the community, the hunting, everything. Now I’m a rural type of guy but with that being said I have 3 kids 10,5,1 so a country setting but in a nice neighborhood with decent schools… does this exist there? Years ago we almost moved to Jackson Hole but wayyyyy out of price range. We are fairly interested in the Cody area. I’m military (national guard) so can pretty much live anywhere, but at the same time trying to change careers into the law enforcement field. I am Military Police with the guard now, but dream of law enforcement on the civilian side, more so even a Game Warden. Wyoming I can tell already has that “home” feel if you know what I mean. We’re the type of “help your neighbor” family, and I wonder if we would be welcomed into the community or if it would be mostly skeptics. We wanna live like you

Since pictures from Jackson Hole, garnered a bit of controversy I would like to reiterate that other parts of WY is still beautiful with the pictures I took here on my brief trip in August.

Fun fact: Some of you are quite miserable about your life and that reflects here.

I will leave WY alone and not immigrate to your wonderful state to destroy your native bloodline or pollute your thoughts and ranches with all the chemtrails from my private jet, but it will not stop me from visiting it again and appreciate the beauty of it. 😸

I moved back to Wyoming about a year and a half ago and I find myself missing live poker.

I prefer small stakes cash games, usually $1/$2 NL Hold’em or sometimes $2/$4.

I know about the big Wyoming tournament in July, but I’d be up for other tourneys as well.

Any tips on where to play? Any private games looking for players?

Hi people of Wyoming, I'm looking for recommendations for a dude ranch to visit for a holiday. Have found Eaton's Ranch, any other recommendations I should look in to? Not fussed on luxury accommodation or heaps of activities, we purely want to ride horses and explore/ride around the ranch. 2x kiwis (New Zealanders), raised on farms, competent riders. We'd prefer somewhere where we'll be allowed to ride out on our own once staff know we're competent.
Thanks in advance!

There’s a job opportunity that would have me working in Basin. I’ve never spent time there, only driven through it. What’s it like for a young family? I have four kids under 10 years old. What sort of family fun opportunities are there, if any? We are big on outdoor recreation and don’t mind living in small towns. Open to any info about surrounding towns. Would prefer no more than a 30 min commute to Basin.

Thanks for your time!

Edit: we currently live in Wyoming in the bighorn basin.

I was doing a mileage run to get my frequent flier status with United by this year-end, and someone recommended me to check out Jackson Hole as it was one of the most scenic airports to land into. Clearly regretted taking the very next flight back home after being mesmerised by the beauty of Grand Teton Mountain ranges! I will be hopefully back here soon.

I’ll take “Snow Fence question in the Wyoming sub” for 500, Alex.

So by now many of you know who I am since I’ve posted before so no intro needed. But anyways, I wanted to share a pretty cool encounter about something that happened today. It’s definitely small world, but a big one as well. I was wearing my Wyoming hoodie today at brunch with my Mom while we were watching the Broncos game. A man came over and asked if we were from Wyoming. My Mom is from Cheyenne, and the guy was from Cody. We had a conversation about how it’s not everyday that you find someone from the least populated state. We talked about how much we love the state, and how I was moving to Cheyenne soon. It was a good convo and it’s not every day you run into someone else from Wyoming, especially in Washington. That hoodie that I wore, the same thing happened a couple of weeks ago at a dinner. Definitely a big world with very few wyomingites. Thought people might like hearing that, no matter where we are. We still the best state in the Union!

My husband and I are going to Yellowstone Wyoming for a day trip and would like to know if theres any 4-5 ⭐️ hotel around the area? It’s out first time and would love to know more about the place and possibly visit a ranch or something!

My wife and I just got back from driving through your great state on our honeymoon. We had a blast. Wyoming is such a beautiful place. I noticed these along the interstate. Are these wind breaks? Thanks in advance!

I moved to Laramie in June of 2023 for grad school. I grew up and did my undergrad in southeastern PA, so naturally I grew up an Eagles fan. Since I've moved out here, I've run into probably 2 dozen other Eagles fans, and most of them aren't UW students. I understand the large numbers of Broncos and Bills fans, but the number of Eagles fans baffles me. I'm wondering if there's any sort of connection between Wyoming and Philly. Afaik, there haven't been any big name stars from UW to go to Philly, so I'm curious if there's some other sort of connection.

Hi!

I’m in Laramie… considering lander or Pinedale. Pinedale has skiing:) any other smaller towns with skiing, mountains? I’m open to hear!

Thank you!

I can’t find downhill skiing in lander but it looks beautiful!

Thank you!

I’m visiting next year and want to try the best steak in Wyoming. Suggestions welcome 🤗

This is an image of where Trump's major donors came from. The biggest single donor state was Wyoming. All thanks to one giant rich jerk, Timothy Mellon of Riverside. For those that don't know Mr. Mellon grew up with a gold spoon in his mouth in a mansion in Virginia. He had an airplane that commuted him to and from his Massachusetts boarding school in the 50's. He is heir to the multi-billion dollar Mellon banking fortune. He has stated the following specifically about black people:

"For delivering their votes in the Federal Elections, they are awarded with yet more and more freebies: food stamps, cellphones, WIC [the U.S. Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children] payments, Obamacare, and on, and on, and on. The largess is funded by the hardworking folks, fewer and fewer in number, who are too honest or too proud to allow themselves to sink into this morass."
