I spent my first appreciable time in the state of Wyoming this past week. I will say this, there is a reason that the state of Wyoming's symbol is a bucking horse and rider. Let me also say this, I absolutely loved it there. For anyone like me, who doesn't know anything about Wyoming I thought I would put a few facts about Wyoming-
State Dinosaur: Triceratops (That is neat)
State Sport: Rodeo (also neat)
State Capitol: Cheyenne
Number of counties: 23
State income tax per individual: 0% (That is right no state income tax)
Coal Production: 395.5 million tons, the most of any state in the U.S.
Mormons: 11% of total population
National Parks: 2, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park
Population: 576,412 The least populous state in the Union
Lowest recorded Temperature: -66 degrees F
For Fall Break Macy and I went to Wyoming to spend some time with Family and Friends. We were in Afton and Big Piney. It is a short 3 hour drive from both of those towns to Salt Lake City. It is about a 2 hour drive from Afton to Big Piney. The Landscape is incredibly beautiful. Well at least it was while we there. It was also already starting to snow in both of those towns while we were there. Wyoming is not for the faint hearted, and the people are as tough as the landscape is. They have cold hands but some of the warmest hearts. You just gotta love the great state of Wyoming.
