Sometimes you don’t appreciate what you have until you don’t have it. That’s what many people realize after moving away from the Cowboy State. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. Here’s a list of things Wyomingites miss after moving away from this great state of ours. You might want to leave that fence gate open just in case you want to move back someday.
- “These people think it’s windy here? They obviously haven’t been to Wyoming.”

- “It’s going to take how long to get to work?”

- “There’s no greater college team than the Wyoming Cowboys.”

- “There’s nothing like a Wyoming sunset.”
