I was looking at Google Earth casually, and then I see this massive chunk of Wyoming that looks like its either naturally flat or has been flattened out by the state's heavy mineral extraction economy

Happy “prepping for winter season” folks! Don’t forget your U. S. Forest Service firewood permit.

Bighorn National Forest is $6 / cord with a 4 cord minimum.

Shoshone National Forest is $7.50 / cord with a 3 cord minimum.

Versus a $5000 fine if you don’t have a permit.

You hate to see that happen to a neighbor.

A bustling hub of commerce between Shoshoni and Thermopolis. These days you can skip the Birdseye Pass and take 20.

Wyoming tribes ask church pastor to leave after viral sermon.

They’re still asking nicely and she’s still not leaving. More on this next month when they’ll still be asking and she still won’t be leaving. And the next month. And the next month.

Hi everybody! I’m currently on a cross country road trip and skirted through your, frankly; stunning and vast state today. My husband and I stopped at the Hat Creek Stage Station on US18/CanAm Highway.

Can you tell me anything about the house across the street? We wandered over to it; it appears to be an old gas station maybe?

Anybody who knows anything we’d appreciate it! It was a cool find for us! Greetings from Massachusetts!

PS
Your state is awesome.

Aw man I’m honestly kinda bummed he deleted his facebook account. The things he’ll post to grab peoples attention were so ridiculous. I’ve never seen anyone so hyper focused on gender neutral bathrooms lol. I really enjoyed reading the comments. I guess the internet finally bullied him a little too hard lol.

Here are our options for this seat, folks (minus Chuck Gray who didn't show up)

Let's get out and vote ✌️

Hello!

I'd love some leads on Wyoming-made goods that would be nice end-of-year gifts for my clients. For background, I'm a national parks travel advisor and I send quite a few of my clients to the Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Pinedale (don't tell Pinedale), Dubois, Lander, etc.

One big tenet of my business is that I book through local suppliers, locally owned lodging (and no short-term rentals), and local guides. Our agency has won a lot of sustainability awards and it's not because we tell people to bring reusable water bottles, it's more about sustaining local economies and responsible travel.

That being said, I'm starting to think about my end of year client gifts. I tend to go with things from local makers in the areas I work. In Banff, for example, I stock up on Banff Tea Co. items and local art fridge magnets. In Quebec City, it's indigenous made keychains, hot sauce, or jewelry.

This year, I'm stuck on what to do for my WY/YNP travelers. In the past I've done coffee from a Bozeman roaster, soap from 307 Soap Co, or truffles from Meeteetse Chocolatier.

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Who am I missing?
