Hi guys and gals...was wondering how many of you are from Casper on here? I might be starting a new job with a company out there. They are hiring for Denver or Casper. Casper looks to me as a great place. Any info would be great. Just would like to know what to expect living there. Thanks John
Born and raised there, but haven't lived there since 2004...
Nice place, quite honestly not very much there in the way of ORV recreation though. You can snowmobile on Casper Mountain ... but, Casper Mountain is basically just a suburb of Casper, a lot of private land up there .... and it doesn't get much snow at all. There is a motocross track there, but as far as public land for general dirt biking goes there is basically nothing.
As far as the city goes, its a pretty decent place. Getting kinda big though
Also .... get used to the wind. The wind there is absolutely horrible. It'llbe 20 degrees out and due to the wind the wind chill factor will be like -50 =)
There are about 70,000 people living there right now.
There is quite a bit of good fishing, in fact excellent fishing, all along the north platte river .... several large lakes within about an hours drive, so if boating is your thing its a decent place for that ... just watch out if you're out on Pathfinder, be towards the north shore if its getting closer to noon, that's when the wind almost always picks up on that lake
I think most people in Casper pretty much head to the Horns or the Snowies to ride, mostly the Snowies .... Its about 3 hours to saratoga. Don't have a clue why you'd ride the snowies out of the east side (Laramie) if you were coming from casper ... Wyoming range is ~4 hours from there if I remember right, so is the CDST.
Decent place to live ..... I'd wanna move back if there was anywhere within 150 miles to really ride dirt in the summer
