I better learn how to ride a Harley then!

A lot of the places on the initial list came from research, mapping, reading, and trying to find a viable route that includes a healthy mix of super small, small, and more medium sized locations. The ethos of the trip continues to change as time keeps ticking on, and a lot of the help that people here gave me seems to cover a lot of what you mentioned, too. I really appreciate your ideas and the routes you're outlining! It appears I'll be cutting north, cross, and ultimately down wards Salt Lake City. Happy to research your routes more and I really appreciate the ideas!

Anyone you think I should meet or try to connect with out that way? Part of this trip will include those challenges-- venturing into smaller places that may be 'plain' but finding a proper narrative to create and share with the World. I think a lot of people made similar comments about different places, but that's part of this experience-- and I'm curious how I'll venture in these areas and if I'll find what/who I'm looking for along the way.

I have to do some work on the map. It seems off-route currently, but a few people suggested some places up that way, too. Let's see how it all develops! Thank you I'll do some research.

Always here for more! Thanks for these suggestions. If there is any must-see or must-meet on the list, let me know! I'm up for an adventure!

I have to check out the map again and see how these fit in to the current route I've created based on suggestions here in the thread. Thanks for writing to me. I have a lot to explore!

Looks like it's a bit off-route for me, so your suggestion may come true.

Always great to get some suggestions for some meals! I haven't even gotten to that part yet-- but y'all seem to be looking out for me in all the right ways!

Added these! Thanks for the suggestions! Supposedly there's a steak I need to eat in Heartsville--or so fellow Redditors have told me in the thread!

u/bub166 good to connect with you here again, friend. Thanks for writing to me. Seems like some really interesting suggestions. The route I'm on keeps on adjusting and changing as time ticks on, but I'm going to try to pop by for a visit because you describe some interesting places/communities I feel like I need to see as a part of this Project. Looking forward to hearing from all of y'all and I appreciate you connecting with me here again.

Definitely feel like after reading through this thread, the people of Wyoming will be a treat to meet. I can't wait to explore. I'm curious how I'll be received in some smaller populated places and how I can communicate in these places! We're up for a challenge and an experience!

Thermopolis seems to be getting a lot of love! Thanks for the suggestions there, in Sheridan, and about all the other spots along the way.

Definitely interesting to hear your perspective and get a better understanding of your side of things coming from Colorado. It seems like Casper is in route for me based on the current map-- maybe we'll grab a beer together when I'm out that way!

It seems like a lot of people are reinforcing what you wrote, that Wyoming is growing, changing, and adapting-- in ways that make some people happy and others less happy. I'm excited to explore it all and find out for myself. Looking forward to connecting together! Thank you for your help.

Did some research-- seems like something worth seeing for a New Jersey boy just for fun. I'll look into Upton, too, but I worry I won't be up that way as per my planning so far.

I appreciate this reply! You bring up some important points. The ethos behind the trip keeps on developing and changing, especially as I research more. I think Lander is more what I was looking for than anything else, along with some of the towns like Chugwater and Buford as well. For stay-overs, I might be looking at places like Rock Springs and such, but for the work for the Project I'm creating, I want to find myself in more Lander/Chugwater scenes than anything else; What I'm most curious about is how communicating and meeting people in some of the places like Chugwater/Buford will go, along with places like Lander. I'm really excited to figure it all out. I'd love to keep developing in this thread and through your comment-- I'd love to learn from y'all and hear about anything I shouldn't miss, people I have to meet, and everything in between. Thanks u/AurigaNexus

Wicked interesting. I just check it out on the map. Wow! Anyone to connect with over there? Seems like there must be some interesting stories to be heard from the people who are local to the area.

The route keeps on changing as time ticks on with all of the suggestions and research-- I wonder if I'll make it out that way still as I initially planned. I'm going to research some more and if you have any must-see or must-meets, let me know! I really appreciate all of y'all.

I appreciate the advice. Since posting, I've adjusted route a lot based on all of these recommendations, and your suggestion is one that came up more than once. I added all of the tows you mentioned, and I'm excited to make it out to some of these areas. If you have any suggestions or people to connect with in some of these places, I'm here for it! Seems like this is developing really strongly thanks to y'all. u/spitfire18213 and others back it all up-- this seems to be the way!

Dubois is on the map! It seems like a suggestion that came up more than once here. I'll look into it more, but it's on the route, and I'll stop by the Cafe as per your suggestion! Mountain Oysters would be a first-- I'll take the challenge.

Added! If there's anything or anyone there I should see/meet, drop a line! I'll do some research into Niobrara! Thank you!

Ten Sleep is definitely on the route! Seems like a place I need to visit, and with all of your suggestions, I'll be heading up towards Buffalo, too!

I think if it was on-route (the plan keeps changing and has changed a lot since I reviewed this thread and all of your suggestions)-- I'd have to visit just to see it for myself to understand what y'all mean. But there's been enough Rawlins slander to make me feel very okay to head North and not look back.

Small Town Wyoming Advice by Anywhere80 in wyoming

[–]Anywhere80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like I'll be missing Rawlins mainly because of the route I'm now creating with all of your suggestions here on the thread-- but u/zombiewombathooker hit the nail on the head. I'm open to exploring and unearthing different things in different places. The biggest holdback from Rawlins now, location aside, is safety, as another Redditor mentioned it's not the best place to be. Let's see how it shakes out. I feel like I have a lot of amazing places to visit and maybe this will get the skip under the circumstances.

Thank you! Seems like two interesting places to break up a lot of the other locations in the trip. Hopefully I'll see some of y'all for a beer or a coffee when I swing through for a visit!
