The reason Wyoming is one of the least populous states is cuz it BLOWS here literally!!! And it's COLD!! 35mph is a nice breeze, it's not wind till its steady at 60 and gusting to 80+, I've lived here most of my life and can tell you I've had enuff!

Oh, and Cody, you can call them pronghorn, we call then antelope, but the fact is they are GOATS! You like to go GOAT hunting!!

I agree that it is gorgeous. I spent this past Thanksgiving there, went into the mountains and sled down them. They had a good parade (I was in Casper) and it was an all around good time...except it was 1*F with a wind chill of -18*F...

About 2 years ago I PM'ed Kyle about possibly moving there. I was so sick and tired of L.A. that I wanted to become a recluse and live in a log cabin in Wyoming. Found a 40 acre piece of land on a lake and with some mountains in the back yard for $65K and was gonna do it. But then I talked to Kyle and he kinda talked me out of it!!

These trucks run better at 80 than 65. Just because the speed limit is 85 doesn't mean you have to go 94. Last time I was in TX last year, there were some spots that were 75 and I just felt like cruisin...so I went 72...

And FYI...I did a test and at the same speed, cruise control actually burns more fuel than sucking it up and riding it out.
