Good to see you popped in, I do miss your posts! Sounds like you're living the dream though!

haha, don't know if I would call it living the dream, but we enjoy it. I still commute to MT 4 days per week though. Alarm goes off at 3:25am. work a 10+ hr day. repeat Monday thru Thursday. Maybe that's why I haven't posted in a while. lol.

How is the ATV trail riding and boondocking? I started looking at the state trail maps but need to research it more. Thanks

Easy to find boondocking sites. A lot of people will complain about the Sheridan people who leave their RVs on the mountain. They have a 14 day limit in one spot but then they will move them to another area of the mountain. Keep them up there all summer. I’ve always been able to find a site and we have a 40’ TH. Sometimes we’ve made a new spot. We’ve left ours up there. Our first summer here we left ours up there It was like a vacation cabin. I’d get home from work and my son and I would run up the mountain and go motorcycle riding. Stop at the TH and take a break, have lunch, etc then either go ride some more or head back home.

I prefer the forest service maps. You can access them online. There are a lot of trails but quite a few of them dead end and your stuck having to go back on the same trail.

Google Fisher ATV and Bighorn Mountains. He’s been here twice. Once he stayed at Bear Lodge the other time at Elk View Inn. Not sure you’ll be able to find the first time he visited. But I do know the second time is on YouTube. We saw him riding.

I would also recommend YouTuber Doug Roberts. His videos are of him riding a motorcycle in the Bighorns. His videos tell you what trail he’s on. Not the most entertaining videos but gives you a good idea what the trails are like. At least the ones around the Red Grade area.

Cowboy State = WY? What part of the state? Our daughter lived up there for about eight years until she finished her doctorate at UWYO and moved away. She moved all over the place while she was doing her clinicals. Beautiful state.

its a small world.

Bighorn Mountains, they are located north central in Wyoming. We live between Ranchester and Dayton. Nearest metropolis is Sheridan a whoppin 17k for population. Nice to have amenities though. Last place we lived in Montana we were literally 90 miles from the nearest traffic light, McDonalds or Walmart and those things seem to be everywhere. It was like hitting a brick wall coming from Vegas.

If you ever decide to go from Yellowstone to Rushmore were the halfway point. You should put it on your bucket list.

Our daughter ran the Bighorn 100 Miler twice. We think she's nuts.

She is nuts! :B Funny you mention that I was just talking to an employee that works for for our small business who lives by the trail. She was one of the aid stations. She runs. Don’t think she’s ever done the 100 mile one though. But she was telling stories of people encountering elk, moose, mountain lions, bears. Etc. running through hail, crazy wind and through the night is insane!! My hats off to your daughter though!!
