Title: Coming for a visit! 9/3-9/6
Post by: Jeffersonian on August 21, 2009, 03:08:37 PM

Hi everyone!

I couldn't think of any better board to put this on, but if there is, please feel free to move it. I'm already a FSW member living in Arizona, though temporarily living on Colorado for the summer to teach. Anyway, the wife and I have several days off over the labor day weekend, and along with the proximity to Wyoming, I convinced her to take a trip up there to check things out. We'll be staying in Casper on the 3rd, but heading up to stay in Gillette for the 3 days following that. We plan to look around the entire area as much as possible, including parts of South Dakota (she's more interested in SD than I am). The main purpose for the visit is just to get an idea of what the area feels like, and looks like, kind of as a scouting trip for moving there.

I was hoping for some suggestions on what specific areas to check out. Of course, I'm most interested in finding a place pretty far out from any town, but especially from a small city, and from the interstate. Meeting FSW members would be a bonus, for sure.

Darn, I won't be here at all then! Hope to meet you next trip.

I'm sure others will give you their take, but do look around the Devil's Tower and Hulett area. Gillette is exactly what you say you don't want, so no joy there. Lots of good areas in Weston County. Check out Four Corners between Newcastle and Sundance. Off the beaten path, but close enough so you can go to town once in a while if you need to. :) Your wife might like it better than something more remote.

SD has more "laws," more taxes and lots of other problems for freedom seekers. Good luck!

Labor Day weekend I will be running an appleseed in Douglas. 40 miles south of Casper. Stop by and check us out.

Be sure to roam around Crook County and Weston County.  See Devils Tower in Crook, and the village of Hulett.

Enjoy........  Watch for an abundance of turkeys and other critters...

Regards, Danl ~W~

Sally and I will be in Casper starting on the third.  PM me if you'd like to try to get together for lunch or something.
