Actually I was born and raised in Green River Wyo and would be very happy living there too. Will be heading to GR for my 50th class reunion next week.

Ron, my dad was born and raised in Rock Springs...just a jackrabbit's hop away from Green River. His dad worked in the coal mines. My dad broke horses to earn money while in high school. So, as an adopted son of Swee****er County, I salute you!

It's been a few years since I was in that corner of the Cowboy State but I love it there. Shot some pool with my dad and brother in the Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole while the town was busy turning into Aspen North and the longtime residents were fighting to keep the "Hole" in the name. But the trout still bite and so does the wind. I've got to get back there.
My dad told me when he was growing up Rock Springs had three churches and twelve brothels. He might have been exagerrating but not by much.

Dave,
From what I heard your father was probably pretty close to right on.

A wind plant is the perfect business to have in that part of the world. Not to be a namedropper...I chat with former Senator Alan Simpson once in awhile in my job and he once told me the snow that falls in Casper and Laramie lands in Nebraska. ;D
Ron, I stayed in a nice RV park in Green River a few years back. Don't remember the name of it but our door was just a short walk to the river and the fishing was great.

Forgot something. Has anyone been to the Medicine Bow National Park (forest?) west of Laramie? It is breathtaking.

Yes on the west side of Green River. When I was groing up that area was a picnic area owned by Mr Layton. We will be parked straight across from the west end of the Palisades next week. My old classmate and his sister inherited the palisades from the river North which their father purchased in the 30/s. Night say that was part of Ron's playground as was the river.
A few years ago we lead a few of the RV Forum members up into Wyoming and to some areas not even in the tour guides. I think all that was on that tour enjoyed it. Felt so sorry for Russ he only got to do the steam Shop in Cheyenne then he had to report back to his partners and go to work.

I remember listening to you and Jim Godward trade "growing up on the railroad" war stories when we were all camped at Heyburn State Park on Lake Chatcolet in Idaho. You future engineer-types were really mischievous little tykes, weren't you.

I don't know about Ron, but some of us still get into inquisitive experiments although they are nowhere near as adventurous as they once were! VBG
