Well I guess there is now

I used to traverse Wyoming quite often. Brother and Sister in-law used to live in Rock Springs. I used to go up to Cody, Yellowstone, Jackson and ate pancakes at Cheyenne Days a few times. Hunted mule deer at Baggs one year. Brothers are going up near Newcastle in a couple weeks to exterminate a few prairie dogs.

I lived for 20 years in Riverton and Casper, other than the harsh winters, not a bad place if you don't need to make a living. I now own a small farm in the Ozarks and don't miss Wyoming at all. I love the green trees, grass, and abundance of life everywhere.
I think I have had enough desert, sage brush, 70mph wind, and 30 below temps.

I know Willow Springs. Nice country. Was through there last summer going and coming from St Louis. I am from Independence originally and have relatives scattered all over the state. Homestead still in the family outside Pierce City.

Well, it's a small world isn't it. Moving to Willow Springs was the best thing I ever did. I have a great little farm with many places to ride my ATV. I raise my own food, and enjoy the beautiful country I live in.

I like Southern MO and always have. I always liked it around Roaring River, the towns of Cross Timbers and Ava. Unfortunately, I chose a profession that forced me to move and live in one of these large metro areas. I've been here the better part of 30 yrs now, so hopefully - someday soon we might be able to get away from this urban sprawl and live again.

I was close to retirement, had my home paid for and no bills when we moved out here from Vancouver WA. That was in 2004. I got a job as a manager for MFA oil company here in Willow and retired from there last year
When we found this place, just 3 miles from Willow, the land was gorgeous but the house was a disaster. Had I the money I would have torn it down and started over. I stripped it down the the studs inside and re-did everything, wiring, plumbing, raised the sagging ceilings and now the place is a nice little house.
I have a milk cow, coupe of pigs, chickens, and a couple of dogs. I raise a big garden, and we have planted an orchard.
This year I have added bees. I will have to see how I can keep them going.

That keeps the rift raft out-/ And did you know that WYOMING has the largest supply of natural gas in the entire USA COMBINED!!!! to heat all those back east homes-??? so crank up the heat-- it makes me money!!!!!
No place to work? It is a place to produce HUGE money within Wonderful Wyoming.
Ya we get the wind but not even close to 70.. Summertime bugs..you in Orzarks. have all that and the roaches also. We have all the abundance in life and 4 seasons here... ya ever been to 13,000'?? ... the views in this state and the quality of wildlife are breath taking.....
Dont like the 30 below temps? well I can put enough clothes on to stay warm- Can you take enough clothes off to cool?? We don't have the + 90 temps with 50% humidity like the Ozarks either Oh and for the summer ATV rides... we don't have road closers like ya all do.. we can ride just about anywhere here in the cowboy state..
Love it....

Man that is great! I am pleased that you are where you are happy, when someone finds a place that is good for them that is where they should be.
I left Wyoming in 1989, and have never looked back. As for the cold temps, check out the winter of 1968. and as for wind, look at Dubois or Casper mountain. Keep enjoying your wide open spaces, and most of all RIDE SAFE
