I did attend UW in Laramie but only for a short time before I transferred to ASU where I got two degrees and started my teaching career. I graduated from high school in Cheyenne and my mom still lives there. All your pictures struck home with me as I've spent lots of time at all those places. Heck, many years ago during Frontier Days my older sister got the $h!t kicked out of her at the Albany Bar during a real saloon fight. Now, probably 30 years later she still avoids Cheyenne during Frontier Days like the plague. I love it then because the city really comes alive; it is one big 10-day Cowboy party. Of course, it was much more fun when I was younger. Thanks for the pics!! Wow, too freaky.

Got to spend a day in Cheyenne, a fun downtown area, had a tasty prime rib sandwich at the Albany.

Where will you be in Wyoming? I was born in Torrington and grew up in Cheyenne. I'm not there now, but curious about your ties to Wyoming. Barry Hi Alan,

I guess you couldn't get your Bowie Knife through airport security. “leaving me to shave while holding the blade between two fingers”
