Wasn’t it a George Carlin (RIP!) routine where he said in reality there is NO Wyoming, that the US had gotten into a short war with Canada and lost a large chunk of land. Rather than admit to losing the war and the land they just called the area Wyoming, figuring no one would go there anyway so who would know? My apologies to the the true source if I’m mistaken!

I used to have to drive stock across Wyoming. I was the youngest and all the old hands would say "Let the kid do it." Miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. It was a highlight to meet another car. Texas ain't got nothin' on Wyoming.

I was there the year ('67 I think) that they had the BIG snow in January and then a series of late snows. Nothing but snow and slush and mud. Five guys stuck in a little house and rations were mainly beans. I think they burned the house after we left.
