Wyoming B.S. Thread

Yeah, I'll be keeping an eye out but not rushing into anything. Once I figure out what I want I'll just wait for the perfect one to show up.

 

The madness is coming... I counted 6 EarthRoamers in Fremont County today.

 

I didn't write this, but it is appropriate:

With the Solar Eclipse almost upon us, I have seen many helpful posts and public service announcements but I feel they fall short in several areas. I will try to cover some of those.

1. Wyoming has a huge amount of public land open to exploring and enjoying but it isn't a garbage dump. Take out what you take in. We live here 365 days a year. The public land is our back yard. We hunt, fish, trap and camp there and will take it as a personal insult if you screw it up.

2. With that being said, not all land is public. There is a lot of private land including ranches and farms that have been in the family for over a hundred years. If there is a No Trespassing sign at a gate or road that means you. Stay out or some gentleman wearing a cowboy hat wearing irrigating boots and riding a four wheeler will let you hear the sound a True Temper irrigating shovel makes while it ricochets off your skull.

3. We drive trucks, tractors, combines and swathers on the highway going about our business. They go pretty slow and won't move faster if you sit behind us and honk. In fact, they actually go a bit slower. We live here. You don't. Be patient and enjoy the scenery. The shovel will sing it's song to you again if you wish.

4. There is a very good chance you will see someone carrying a firearm. Yes, it is loaded and no I don't have a damn permit for it. Everybody and I mean everybody owns a gun in Wyoming and a lot of us carry one quite regularly. Don't panic. Don't call the police. And above all behave and treat us and our state with respect and there won't be a problem.

5. Our dogs. Our dogs ride in the back of our trucks and they like it. Sure a few slow learners take a tumble every once in a while but for the most part they do just fine. Don't pet them while they are in the truck. They will bite you. Numerous times if possible. The truck is their's not your's and they take their security duties seriously. Again, don't panic and don't call the police because they don't give a damn and they are probably going to be busy saving some tourist from a self inflicted bout of Cranial Rectumitis.

6. Our wildlife will kill you and it will hurt the whole time you are dying. Elk, moose, bison and grizzly bears take great pleasure in playing hacky sack with tourist that's get too close. They are wild animals and are not trained circus acts. If you must harass our wildlife may I suggest you go catch a badger. They are really good cuddlers.

7. Our weather will kill you and yes it will hurt the whole time. It snows here every month of the year. Our back roads become death traps when it rains or snows. Your Prius isn't an offroad vehicle so stay on pavement. Don't make our brave and skilled First Responders have to go looking for your dumb ass when you go exploring.


Welcome to Wyoming and enjoy the Eclipse, take a wolf and go away.

This is great haha

 

Damn you.

 

My 03 runner was one of the best decisions I ever made. 121k when I bought it several months ago pushing 130k now 9300 bones got me the 4g body style plus the v8. I'm still amazed by how smooth the entire driveline is. Granted I didn't get rid of my taco so it was a slightly different scenario and the kids are so comfortable in their car seats

 

Preferably a wolf pup that looks cold

I have a whole rant on tourists, but it probably shouldn't be published here or any where for that matter. Dealing with them and their lack of of knowledge...on well being a life sustaining human being is not good for one's cardiovascular health.

In Jackson Hole, $4,400

 

Looked right passed it lol. Looks like a ski pole holding the rear hatch up too. Not all of us can afford the no shovel 2017 hood

 

Lol my hood on the last land cruiser crushed me a few times when the struts failed. I sold it with a metal pipe holding it.

I have really thought about buying another cruiser in nicer condition to wheel. Then once I pay that off, I would buy a car for commuting, sell baby T and put half of that money into the car payment and the other half into the cruiser.

I may or may not have sent an email to this guy.

 

Lol, somehow I fooled her.

 

I really like the angled CB antenna/mount. As you know, I'm a bit partial to that look.

 

Who drives this? Spotted in Laramie and he said he's on the forum. Truck looks really familiar.

 

@Pltmnky

 

Anyone know of any good 4wheeling spots outside of Glendo? Ill be staying 45 min west in Esterbrook. I have just been scanning Google Maps as theres not a ton of info. Got dragged into this Solar Eclipse thing and want to have some fun while we're waiting to stare at the sun for 3 minutes. Feel free to PM if you dont want to publicly announce your secret spots.

 

Isn't much for real wheeling around here, but if your staying by Esterbrook you should check out the Black Mtn. Fire lookout. It's a relatively easy trail that ends at one of the last manned lookouts in the area. Pretty cool views and the lady up there's is a talker. FS Rd. 667

 

Thought he had a hard shell?

 

Should have filled up gas tanks yesterday, shits getting crazy here. I'll probably be going to the Laramie Mountains south of Douglas for some deer scouting and sacrificing for the apocalypse lol
