What I learned while in Wyoming...

#1 You can not sound out any of the town's names and think they will be correct. You may not even rely on your own knowledge of the English language. For example, my parents live outside of Kemmerer (why are there 2 sets of 'er's, I don't know) in a tiny town called Opal. Now I would pronounce this the same way as, "that is a beautiful opal ring." But, before I had ever gone up there my mom kept correcting me saying, "Ami, it is o'pal, like you are my ol'pal." I tested this when asked who I was visiting (because they knew I was not a local...which I am happy about) and I said my parents in Opal and I was instantly corrected.."oh you mean ol'pal?" Yeah, I guess I do and that is going to take some getting used to.
#2 It is totally legal and apparently preferred to have a restaurant in a tiny trailer on the side of the street or in the parking lot of your local Piggly Wiggly. I was surprised when I saw one of these tiny shops and in hysterics when I counted 4 or 5 more throughout the town. Don't you worry because you can get burgers, bbq, or mexican food without any fuss. Some of these restaurants even provide picnic tables out front. Just beware, if business isn't that great you may plan on your favorite dive for some food and it may be looking for a more prosperous location.
#3 Don't assume that the healthy, all too hyper, younger chihuahua will out hike the older, chubby, bohemian princess chihuahua. While hiking Trixie walked and trudged the entire trail, it was too cute. However, Max keep stopping in front of my feet and would not budge. This was his interpretation of throwing a tantrum, he was forcing me to pick him up and carry him down the hill! It was hilarious.

"I'm a big dog...look at my dirty feet, even though I won't use them"

#4 When a restaurant is called "The Busy Bee" do not be surprised when you walk in and are surrounded with a total cow decor, not one bee in sight. I am not kidding, this little cafe probably had 100 little knick knack cows all over the place!
