Wyoming! Home to only a half a million people, and they like it that way. As one fellow put it, "We've got only 500,000 people, so get out!" Another conversation with a road construction worker went like this:
Me: what a beatiful place to work, on top of the mountain and all.
Him: Yep. I've got the best office in the world.
Me: Yeah, just so long as you can stand the mosquitoes.
Him: [Long pause]The way I see it, sometime mosquitoes are better than people.
Of course, I can't blame these folks for the quiet pride they have in their beautiful outdoors and I respect them for surviving the harsh winters. I think the average low here in Grand Teton National Park is 1.5 F in January.
Looks like there's a line for the computer, more to come!
It is crazy to me that you have ridden a bike to Wyoming. (!!!)
