[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 710997, member: 21068"] Probably not nearly the humidity that you might be used to coming from Oregon.? 50-70 mph gusts with sustained winds of 15-40 mph are really not uncommon. Particularly around Cheyenne. One of the windiest areas in the state. Calm or light wind days can be kinda rare in alot of the state, so we often have load testing ammo loaded and waiting for weeks or months in some cases before they get shot under ideal testing conditions. Summers aren't usually overly hot and humid. Winters can be deadly with the wind chills and blizzards. Not alot of annual precipitation however, snow or rain either one (unless closer to the mountains). We can dress for the cold, but I hate hot and humid!........Oh, fire dangers run pretty high during most summers. I've never found the area immediately around Cheyenne to be visually appealing, pretty flat (some rolling hills) and not much scenery as compared to other parts of Wyoming. Not alot of public land right around there either. Tons of plusses for the outdoors type in Wyoming, so long as you can stand the wind and don't mind small town people and the small town/rural attitudes and beliefs/customs. I've never lived anywhere else and can't imagine wanting to live somewhere else. I believe the weather, lack of green landscapes and trees is what mostly discourages people from wanting to live here. Most of our little lakes aren't surrounded by trees, but with sagebrush or maybe some pinion/juniper type brush. Wont find many trees at all in Eastern Wyoming, a few cottonwoods along the drainages. I like the fact you can see for miles and miles and miles though. A mountain 50 miles away is no problem on a clear day. Personally; I like the open spaces, lack of trafic and people, even the big towns are small........we don't have any "cities". As stated above, most folks are pro gun and don't just "say" they support the 2nd ammendment. We fully support gun ownership rights, the right to carry openly and concealed and our God given right to defend ourselves, that's the lifestyle we live and love. [/QUOTE]
