Something that needs to be considered for any rural cold state, especially Wyoming, is propane. Only cities and heavily populated areas have natural gas for heat. At present prices, propane cost about 3.75 times more than natural gas. On a cold winter month with a moderate sized house your propane bill can reach $800 a month. It is a consideration if you are on a budget.

Also the winters are brutal and blizzard conditions aren’t uncommon and we had wind chills of -40 F. However, if you can deal with that, enjoy some measure of isolation and small towns, Wyoming isn’t a bad place to live, I enjoyed my time there

@ShenmueAtheist 3 месяца назад

Wyoming feels like the last real place left in the US. It is so undeveloped and rural that you often forget there are big cities just three or four hours away in various directions. Even in the bigger towns like Cheyenne or Casper, you just have to drive 15 minutes and you're greeted with vast stretches or emptiness where it's just you and nature for hundreds of miles. It's a surreal, wonderful, and at times scary feeling since we've all become fairly domesticated in modern times. The people that have lived here more than a few years seem to understand this quite well and are some of the most genuine, tough, and nicest people you'll ever meet. But most of these things mentioned are very true. It seems like 2/3 of the people that move here leave in 2 years or less; it's a hard place to live, but if you can make it work and it's right for you, it really does feel like the last piece of the untamed west that still remains. It becomes very easy to forget that you're living in a world in decline and that's lost its mind in the process.

Just visited Yellowstone and Teton national parks. Went up to Gardiner, MT all the way down back to Salt Lake City. Back home now (Indiana) but enjoyed my time in Wyoming. I could not live somewhere this rural though due to the impact of something like WY 22 being closed due to road collapse (impacted first 2 days of our stay here). From what I hear it should be fixed in just a few weeks. Alternate route added another hour for us each way (from Victor Idaho). If you don’t mind some mountain driving it’s a beautiful state. Idaho is beautiful as well and seemed to be even more rural. However we did see houses being built even in the small towns (about how Colorado was when they first got another boom about 12 years ago). A local in a small town in Idaho told us that millionaires were approaching farmers and handing them millions for thousands of acres of land and it will be tragic when the farms start shutting down more and more.

The wind is what makes the summer heat bearable. The winter wind is an altogether different story. Florida has its hurricanes and they are spotty and occasional. We have our ever present hurricane speed winds all winter. The saving grace are the chinooks giving us a welcome break for two to three days. I love living in Wyoming.

I spent a lot of time in Wyoming and I will give my opinion. Wyoming is literally not for everyone. It takes a very special kind of person to be able to tolerate it. The western part is nice with mountains and parks, but other than that it’s really depressing. The weather alone is the reason I could not live there. It’s brutal cold and the wind makes it 10x worse. It takes men and women tougher than me to tolerate it. There’s reason people do it flock there, no matter how cheap the land is. It’s so rural and the weather is so bad that it makes life extremely difficult to live there. Cheyenne has a Walmart but that’s about it. Other than that, there’s really no modern amenities in the entire state.

There’s a reason why Wyoming is the least populated state and it’s going to stay that way so don’t worry about it. Americans are moving to sun belt metro areas like Vegas, phoenix, Dallas etc. They’re not moving to cold empty rural areas. Enjoy your solitude. It won’t be disturbed.

Colorado is already being overrun by every State in the Nation, mostly the West Coast, Florida and Texas in the last 4 years. I'm so sick of it! Traffic is horrible and these invaders don't even know, how to drive! Western Colorado was an outdoor paradise, before we got invaded. Now you can't even walk on a park trail without being bothered by drugged up people, or those letting their dogs run loose and circling you! Need to carry Pepper Spray and pointy hiking sticks. Disgusting circumstances, just since 2020!

In, I think, 2003 we were staying in Gillette and working by Wright. On May 15th a blizzard hit about noon. The foreman made us work the rest of the day before heading north to the motel. Took over 2 hours to get there. He was not a good boss. Our nickname for him was "Jackass". We all hated him so much we put Pride stickers and Brady Bill stickers on his work truck. Figured the Brady Bill stickers were going to cause him much more trouble than the Pride stickers. They take that stuff seriously up there. Gillette is a very dirty town, but did like the drive-up liquor store. Did have fun on the Gillette and Wright golf courses.

Been in WY for 17 years. It has its pros and cons. My family and I would like to move when we can. It can get really cold (think negative 40), really windy, and it’s really dry. Politicians don’t really care about what the people want. They’ve been banning a lot of things that even their own voters don’t agree with. And we have a problem with young people leaving so they can find work. Businesses have a hard time here and everything “cowboy themed” gets old. My plan is to go to Europe. But I’m finishing school first.

It's like a slightly less naturally beautiful version of Montana, which is breathtaking. The same cryogenically cold winters and crazy weather, the vast emptiness and long periods of solitude (if you're not comfortable with your own company, the mountain West is probably not for you). Really, really long distances just to find a gas station or truck stop unless you live in Cheyenne, Laramie or one of the larger towns/"cities" (I hesitate to call Buffalo, with its whopping 4,100 people, a city, although it definitely is; by contrast, my town on Long Island, NY has 204,127 people). The same rugged terrain. I saw my first elk there, headed northbound on I-25. I found that City Coffee serves a really tasty brew.
