We live in Oklahoma and I'm blessed to work for a small corporation that treats us wonderfully but I'm getting tired of the heat and humidity.
I lived almost a year in Norman, and it was really no fun at all.
We're scheduled to take some vacation time in October and are considering bringing our motorhome to WY for a week or two to see what might be there for us.
A vacation in a motorhome sounds really nice wherever one might go. October here might have snow. It might have cold rain. Or it might be just a series of dry and cool days. My advice is to go for it! My first visit to Wyoming was the last few days of September and the first few days of October in a FWD econo-car, and we had no problems whatsoever.
I suppose there is a chance you could be hammered with hailstones, burnt by lightning, washed away by floods, smashed by tornadoes, and frozen by blizzards. Did I miss anything? Well, Yellowstone is going to blow up any time now and destroy all life within a thousand miles (and cause hardship for the rest of Earth for decades.) But for some reason, these ominous and imminent dangers don't bother me a lot.
I recommend that you give the finger to naysayers and do what you feel like. Wyoming has all four seasons, and there is no reason to look at one and ignore the others. All four seasons have something to offer, if one will look at the opportunities instead of the difficulties of trying to force the environment to adapt to one's notions of city living.
I will end this post with an observation that may also be a rant. It seems to me that there is a large number of people that seem to believe, expect, and desire that everything should be easy to have or buy. All problems should be solved by a phone call to some "expert" and quickly remedied by some expenditure of money. Life should be smooth, even if some of the difficulties turn out to be expensive. I say BULLSHIT!
I say that some problems can NOT BE SOLVED BY SOMEONE ELSE. You HAVE TO figure them out yourself. You can NOT expect someone else to solve your problems. YES! You will have plenty of support from friends, but ultimately you will have to solve your own problems as they come up. For example, just recently I had to learn (relearn actually) ion exchange in a water softener, and how the entire system works, from salts to zeolites and so on. Now I feel better educated on the process and my options. But someone who is not willing and ready to learn is just a worthless person, and should probably stay in the city where slavery is easy.
I do not mean this rant to apply to you. It just came out ... against those city creatures who might also be reading this.
