wyoming tacoma sheridan

Just checkin in from wyoming.

 

you got a friend in Jackson

 

And a UW student in Laramie, originally from Green River!

Welcome! I thought us Wyoming natives were very underrepresented.

 

Casper!

 

Kelly?

this is Joel P. I didn't know you were a Taco fan. We're representing GR!

 

Friend here in Cheyenne.

 

Also in Cheyenne!

 

Lusk at my freinds ranch two weeks every year. You'll see his Jeep and my Taco cruising around the whole state during those two weeks though. We're going to check out Casper ORV this year.

 

Born in Rock Springs. I'll be back there this summer, cruising all over the wind rivers/ bridger teton in my spare time.

You guys should post some pictures though in the mean time to keep me happy. I miss WY!

As far as escaping Jackson... Head down towards Alpine/Afton or Pinedale/Big Piney. Tons of forest roads in between.

 

There's actually some fun stuff to cruise in the Rock Springs area. With all the oil field roads you can go anywhere.


Green River, WY


If you look close you can see my truck out there. East of Rock Springs, near Jim Bridger Power Plant


A rare sighting in this area... water! East of Rock Springs.

 

Nice pictures, thank you!

 

From Cody but currently goin to UW in Laramie. I'm down for a taco offroading trip anywhere close if you guys/gals wanna meet up

 

Some of my favorite pictures from last summer.

hey all. there's a possibility that i may relocate to the Gillette area in a year or two for work. from what i've searched, it seems there's an abundance of OHV areas, parks and trails in the state...are there any around Gillette? Where's the best wheeling in WY? More pictures of the beautiful countryside please! i know you have some brutal winters over there, and the sceenery/wheeling oportunities are starting to become an additional reason to move there.

TYIA!

 

Hello this is Joel L.

 

Well... Gillette is kind of an oddity as far as land goes. Most of the land is private and there aren't many trails, compared to the rest of the state. The good news is that you're very close to Buffalo, Sheridan, and Sundance. In Buffalo/Sheridan you have access to the Big Horns. I don't know about any hardcore trails but there are definitely lots of dirt roads and plenty of areas to explore. From Sundance to Rapid City, SD there are the black hills and there are tons of roads over there and I know that lots of guys with buggies go run trails there.

Never been to Broadus myself but I imagine there are lots of trails and roads to explore up that way as well.

I also understand that the area around Red Lodge, MT north of Cody has excellent trails in the summer.

Never having lived in Gillette during the winter, only RS, Kemmerer, and Evanston, I understand that Gillette has some more mild winters compared to the rest of the state but yes I imagine it's still rough.

Thanks! Those are some spectacular views. I'll be sure and check out getlost. You all are spoiled out there with trails! There is not one single state ohv area for trucks here in ohio...not one. Fire roads and dirt trails are right up my alley. I don't have the vehicle for the extreme stuff anyways. Looks like extra fuel and emergency overnight supplies are a must for some of that country....excellent! I assume primitive camping is allowed? To me, an awesome weekend would be to spend a day driving out into nowhere, camping, then finding my way back the next day.

 

Definitely, freak weather can come out of no where. Yep, there are a few areas (wilderness areas etc..) where laws vary, but for the most part you can set up camp anywhere sensible.

That's exactly what you'll find

 

Whoot! another to the list of WYOers! im in Powell! i love hittin up the Bench and the Big Horns, so many narrely back roads.
