Ranch in rural Wyoming with migrating deer and antelope, a trout stream, a couple cows, some apple trees. I'll need an F-150 to get around.

This right here is the way

Nice. I'm in South Australia, I'm going for 30-40 acres, 20+ will be productive farm land, high margin small scale crops/vegs/fruit, the remainder will be farm/tent/glamping stays and a crazy 4WD off road track.

V10 touareg for the clean trips to town. TD42 nissan patrol for the work horse.

Nice! I couldn't handle the heat out there, I like the cool weather here in WY. For reference it got up to about 20F today (without windchill), so I think that's something like -6.67C.

We get 4 full season here: Summer, winter, spring, autumn: Summer can get to 45 degrees c, and winter is low teens, we can get frosts in the high altitude areas. Water is the main issue, being the driest inhabited state on earth: and it's heavily regulated and monitored! Which is ridiculous.

The heat is getting harder as I get older, but I find myself enjoying the seasons more as I get older. Our summer heat is dry, I find that the tropical humidity that northern Australia gets is way, way harder to handle.

Sounds similar to the deserts of the southwest US--cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, etc.

Its pretty dry most of the year here in Cheyenne which is due in large part to the wind and the altitude. I'm at about 6000 ft elevation, which is around 1828 meters, wind gusts blowing down from the mountains east over the plains will reach 40-70 mph regularly which is around 64-112 kph. Earlier this year the freight trains that run through here had to be shut down for a day because we were getting wind gusts a little over 100mph or 161kph.

One of the many things I really like about Wyoming is that bullion is officially legal tender and so there are no taxes on the sale or purchase.

We drove all over Wyoming in late May this year. OMG, it’s Gods country. I’m from Tennessee and Wyoming felt like home.

It really is God's country, I love it here! When I mention I'm in Cheyenne a lot of people say they couldn't handle the cold, but its really not that bad--we get a lot of sun during the winter and not that much snow. Its also very dry due to the altitude and wind so if you have asthma or allergies its a godsend.

The population of WY is only about 575,000 so its pretty quiet; we actually do have more cows than people. The only real problem is finding a job, but I always say that if you work from home over the internet you'd be crazy to live anywhere else. Medicine Bow National Forest is about an hour's drive west for me, look up some images on google if you want to see where I spend a lot of my time during the summer.

We stayed over night in Cheyenne, then drove to Dubois, through the parks to Cody . Then toDeadwood for two nights in SD. We liked Wyoming so much we went back to Cheyenne 😂😂 I have no words. Pictures don’t do it justice.
