Wyoming - where wind goes to die. 

They don't show pictures of the place in winter.   The four seasons in Wyoming = June, July, August, and Winter

In Bobby's own voice, the story of SOC as I believe it relates to LS & said ranch:

Indeed and agreed. That seems like a lotta coin too. I am no fan of WY, except maybe for that little intersection with MT & ID in and around Yellowstone and, yes, Winter there is another world altogether. No Thanks. I am glad that Barlow happily called it home and that Weir apparently got a lot out of it as well. I was always more intrigued by their Whiskey-fueled song-writing sessions at SLC's infamous and since demolished Hotel Utah.

Pinedale - cool redneck town but mellow.  Good camping and hiking nearby in the Wind River range. I think Liz Cheney hung out there for a while.

 

...and by the sad look of things, Liz Cheney will soon likely have quite a bit of 'spare time' to hang out there or wherever else outside of Congress too.

Spent six years in Wyoming and don't have much good to say about small Wyoming towns.   The Pinedale PD conducted a "21 Jump Street" style undercover operation at the local high school to bust kids selling weed and acid.  Irony is one of the undercover cops was later busted himself for having "indecent liberties" with one of the students:

I've been to Yellowstone, and that was nice, but other than that, the only good thing I have to say about Wyoming is that's where I met Phil in early September 83, in the parking lot of a grocery store in Rock Springs when we were headed from a show at Park West to Red Rocks. That was the tour Phil writes about in his book when he and Jill decided to make a road trip out of the tour.
