My husband and I just retired to Gillette Wyoming last September from Michigan. We love it here. The drier climate is wonderful for us. Neither one of us like the heat and are looking forward to a cooler summer. The wind is almost always blowing. Our winter here was not nearly as bad as what Michigan had this year. We had less snow and the school had only 2 snow days. The amount of snow really depends on where you are in Wyoming. The housing costs here are higher compared to what we had in Michigan. We are still living in an apartment and are thinking about moving to Casper....a bigger town and a more stable economy not so dependent on coal that Gillette is. Gillette is a lower elevation which is why we chose here first.

We just sold our home in the Idaho wilderness area and moving to property we own in the NE part of Wyoming. They do have snow in the winter but beautiful summers. I LOVE LOVE it there. We have 41 acres there covered in Ponderosa Pines. Less windy there than here in the mountains. Yes you have to drive to the bigger towns but I love the isolation. I have my mountain feeling, yet can look out over the prairie and see for miles and miles. We live 3000 feet lower so I can have a garden, chickens and not fear the wolves will come in and kill my animals. We have had the property for 7 years now and love it now as much as I did when we bought it. My best advise would be to travel ALL around Wy. and look at the many different places. I LOVE WYOMING.

We lived in Casper for a year. I worked then and the Co. would have to come and get me in a jeep. Our neighbor would clean our driveway off when it snowed with a snowplow.ha. They had golf games there and every month of the year it snowed. Now if your husband loves the outdoors, this is the place. The skys are clear and beautiful. You would have to be tough to be out though. We would go up to the mountain and cook our supper out.

Texas does not have a state income tax. Our winters don't really get that cold. It is rare to get below freezing in any part of the state and if it does, it doesn't last long. Lots to do in Texas!

I have Wyoming roots and we lived in Cheyenne for a number of years. We loved it and I would have gone back in a instant if I had had the opportunity. Weather is sometimes a challenge. I love snow and cool weather and would never choose anywhere it is hot. In our career we lived all over the country and the weather in all of these other places had challenges also-some of which I would rather not be in. Wyoming people are wonderful and open to newcomers. Medical care is good and linked to big hospital information and care. Two years ago we were traveling through and stopped at Lander in a campground (traveling by RV). My husband had a stroke before getting set up. A nearby camper jumped into action and took us to the hospital, came back to get me when my husband was admitted. When I got back to the campground the camper and the owner of the campground had set up our rig, unhitched our truck, and saw to my every need. The hospital had connection to Casper. We thought we had great resources. Yeah, I love Wyoming! We now live in Colorado and love the climate, snow, longer winter, cool summers and beautiful mountains.

Our place is between Sun Dance and Upton. Love it there. Property at the time we bought it was extremely low compared to Idaho. Love living with no close neighbors.

I've lived in Montana(born there)and Wyoming. Now live in Northern NV (Reno). Love it here, still get a taste of the 4 seasons, but no long winters, dry climate, tons to do, Lake Tahoe is close, good medical care, a great quilting guild, several quilt stores with loads of classes and lots of help, lots of events year round, several theaters, (lots of plays), chamber and philharmonic orchestras, University and community colleges, lots of programs for seniors. (Sounds like a travel brochure.) After I got my degree, DH found great job in Denver, couldn't wait to get back to Reno and retired here.
