If a guy wanted to retire in Wyoming what towns should he look at?

[El Jason]

wind is still a concern reality.

Yip, especially this year. Always blowing. Maybe it’s just Nebraska sucking. Who knows

I've spent time in Casper, Rawlins, and Gillette. Gillette has 35,000 people and every store/eatery my town has and we're at 110,000. I'd move there in a NY Minute if the wife would agree.

I feel sorry for you if Gillette is a step up from where you live.

You’d better like snow and cold if you migrate to that icebox.

Keeps the riffraff out. That said, you have a point. I wouldn’t live here if I didn’t genuinely like winter.

i was thinking around Evanston,,of course major medical would be salt lake run,,that corner would be close for possible Idaho hunting, Colorado and of course Wyoming hunting,,posibly not super bad wind, compared to Rawlins, small town, relatively low crime stats, reasonable real estate cost, looks like it has some good in that area. Resident Wy tags is what I'm looking for ,wind is still a concern.

There’s pretty good medical in Park City, which is less than an hour from Evanston. By far the nicest hospital I’ve ever been in from an aesthetics and food perspective. Feels more like a mountain lodge than a hospital.

Did you see the words "a step up" in my post?

I’m trying to help you out. Pinedale is top notch 6 months out of the year. That brewery sucks though..

There's a lot wrong with Wyoming as is being pointed out, best to look elsewhere.

Salient points...

Counter point:

Large animal vets can handle a full grown human.

Research the local vets around where you want to live. Make sure there are a couple and at least one of thgem isn't over 60.

I prefer smaller vets with skinny fingers

All the good places in any state call for a Life Flight membership.

Baggs is actually Colorado.

In a good way or bad way?

You shut your mouth right now.

You really will need to retire "centrally" in Wyoming, to make sure you are in close to all destinations and equidistance from the borders. You'll get an authentic Wyoming setting. Those cute little towns along the Bighorns are nearly as expensive as Bozeman, with a fraction of the view and offerings. To avoid the hustle and bustle of the bigger towns you need to go more rural. I think now that either Shoshoni or Jeffrey City would be the best choices.
