I was there twice. Last time was in October of 2019, a bright, sunny October day where I walked through the Capitol, sampled a few beers downtown, including one from Accomplice, a wheat beer called Sol Dance. I walked off the buzz by walking halfway across the bridge in your opening segment and back. I had flown into Denver the night before, rented a car one-way with Cheyenne being the northernmost point in my trip, continuing south-southeast, leaving the car in Houston before flying back home. My mom had died three week eariler in Ohio and this was a go for a long drive before you make any life-changing decisions kind of trip.

I never realized Cheyenne was higher in elevation than Denver. Here in Illinois across from Burlington Iowa we are only 500ft elevation 6, 000-ish ft. Cheyenne looks like a great place to live if you like summer & winter outdoor activities, don't want big city lifestyle/big city amenities. But is still big enough to have access to stores, goods & a few decent places to eat, etc. Plus Denver is kinda close (not how long a drive)
I always say Chicago is a great place to be near & visit but sucks living there. I grew up in small town of 10k. I know tons of people who moved to Chicago after HS. Most eventually moved away.

The Undeveloped area, was once a thriving western wear store. But it burned to the ground many years ago. The Hole as it is called now, cannot be filled in, with out strengthening the foundations of the surrounding buildings. Yes I live in Cheyenne, have since 1974. The Hole has become some what of a joke here in Cheyenne. I am glad you had a nice visit, on a nice day. The Atlas Theater would have been to your left, as you passed the Hole on the south side of 16th street. and it is alive and well. Okay, you saw it. And its the Tripoli building, just like country.

First thing I noticed is how much the city favors San Angelo, Texas my hometown. It is clean, no tent cities no trash on the street unless they cleaned up before you go there. Thankyou so much, enjoyed the video. I stayed several days in Cody with the wife years ago and enjoyed that little town so much. The Buffalo Bill dam was a marvel to visit. The capital was astounding. , we cannot even get into the Franklin county courthouse in Pasco, Washington without going through metal detectors etc.

Another great tour and what a nice clean city Cheyenne looks. I always associate the name with the Wild West. Also, what beautiful architecture, homes and surrounding areas it has. The Capitol Building and museum looked great, as did your lunch. I'd love to visit this historical city, as well as that quirky bar. Must be great being able to drive through the different states of America. As usual, your commentary was fab. Thank you both for sharing this video. Best wishes from the UK.

19: 18 Hope all is well. Your accent is very familiar, you mentioned you grew up poor in OK. One of my brothers-in-law did as well and his accent is identical to yours. the timbre of the two voices is completely different, but the accent is definitely related. (I almost instantly could tell the part of the US you were from when I saw your videos, but of course one couldn't know for certain without your saying so)

I’m a little disappointed! There was no mention of the Sand Creek Massacre Trail but the sign was shown. There was only the cowboy statue shown the information under the statue. All others none was shown. No reading guides that you passed did you show or read from and what happened to the demographic information Can info be placed in description box since it wasn’t mentioned hope Cody video is better.

I am a Wyoming native. I lived in Cheyenne 78-79 to attend LCCC. It was a wonderful time. I loved living in Cheyenne. I was a single mom and it felt difficult at the time but looking back it was a great time. Beautiful city and great people. I am back in my hometown now. I love where I live. I am happy to have been born here and love my family and friends. There's no place like your home state.

Wow, what a nice-looking place, I could live there, I'm amazed that the Capitol doesn't have any security, unbelievable, it must be pretty safe there. As far as the dirt roads go, everywhere I've lived that had dirt roads like that, and even where I live now, are the areas that were not part of the city but were in the county, so no paved roads, that's normal.

Cheyenne has some great parks. Hope you didn't miss them. Frontier Days is the time to be there in Cheyenne if you don't mind the crowds. I grew up at the University of Wyoming Archer Field Station just a few miles east of town. I understand it is now the county fairgrounds. Actually the old town looks better now. Thanks for the tour.

31: 38 your wife says that Wyoming became a state by allowing women to vote and that's not true. I lived in Laramie Wyoming. The reason why it took a while for the state to become established was because of the low population, it historically has always struggled to maintain a population due to its prairies and lack of farming

Keep in mind there is a large military population. We lived there decades ago, rented an apartment in a home on 18th Street that was divided into three apartments. I'm sure it's the same now. Those trailer parks may also have rentals, and I'm sure those who can't get family base housing rent in some of those nicer trailer parks.

Cheyenne reminds me of my childhood. The lakefront homes were millionaire homes. We lived 100 feet away on the other side of the road in relatively modest (very modest) homes. Cheyenne has modest homes and Denver has property/homes now worth over $2 MILLION. Just a bit over an hours drive -- if one drives fast.

Elko in my home state of Nevada also has the large cowboy boots and murals. Thanks for the video. We are driving cross country beginning on July 6th to see various sites in 10 states. We should be in Cheyenne on the way home sometime in August. Lots of interesting stuff to see.

6: 37 You visited the Downtown Hole. Previous building burnt down in 2004 and they've been arguing about what to put in that spot for almost 20 years now. Supposedly going to be made a park, but it's supposedly just about to be a lot of things over the years.

Thank you for the fantastic overview of Cheyenne. We’re visiting in a few weeks, and I feel much more prepared. I’m curious, what was the little passport size booklet that your wife had stamped at the capitol building

This was definitely a surprise. Beautiful old buildings and plenty of artwork all over the city including unusual statues and cowboy boots. It has a unique personality. So clean. No homeless living on the streets.

I spent a lot of time in Cheyenne back in my oilfield days. My fondest memory was a big liquor store downtown that had a green door towards the back that was the entrance to a really fun gentleman’s club.

As you know, or should know, there is a distinction between a trailer park and manufactured housing. Most of what you show here is manufactured housing.
