Wyoming has a lot going for it, if you like living where there aren't many people. No State Income Tax, for one thing. Lots of outdoor activities, and most of the state has its own beauty, once you know what to look for. When I first moved there (at age 14) I thought it was a hellhole. After a couple of years, I came to realize that even the empty stretches were pretty. Windy, but pretty. Except the town we lived in right after my wife finished grad school.... That place WAS a hellhole. It was like living in a Stephen King story... it felt like everyone in town was in on some dark secret. If it was someday revealed that the entire population were devil-worshippers, or cannibals or vampires or something, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
But Casper and Laramie (where I went to High School and college, respectively) were both great places to live. Granted, they were a long way from bigger cities, but that fostered a kind of adventurous and independent spirit. To this day, I think nothing of hopping in the car and driving 6 or 7 hours to go do something fun. If I mention that I want to go to Denver for the weekend, my coworkers here act as if I am driving to the moon or exploring Antarctica. In Wyoming, I had friends who once drove 6 hours to Jackson to get pizza because they were tired of the places in Casper.
