No one has mentioned the wind. ...But it's a dry wind.. If I were in your shoes I'd jump on it ASAP. Like WYoColoCowboy said, It's WYOMING!

Just move, and do it now!
It will take a year or two of adjustment. But then you will wonder how on earth you survived back east for so long. You will have nostalgia but little pain.

As for the wind, when picking a house try to see it in the afternoon when winds are strongest. You may be lucky and find a house that is sheltered from the prevailing winds because of the surrounding landscape (but that would be a long shot).
Best of luck!

I made the move this year and quite enjoy it, still learning where to hunt and the laws, but otherwise....all is good. The wind is something to get used to but not bad! The weather has been mild and this will be my first winter here! Housing costs are the real shocker at least in my area and I noticed food is a little more expensive but not crazy. Otherwise that is my only small complaint!

Bob,
In addition to the hunting in that region, you are very close to SD, ND and MT for great upland bird hunting and waterfowl. I am sure there are parts of Wyoming that are great for upland and waterfowl as well, I am just not aware of them.
Best of luck in your decision.
Dan

I'm in Utah and have been for over 30 years now. All I can do is echo what others have said: it's a golden opportunity not to be skipped.

No one has mentioned the wind. Not much wind up in Sheridan. It is not Laramie, Rawlins or Cheyenne or Cheyenne. About half the speed of the places that really have wind.

I have hunted the beautiful Bighorns and traveled the area. I cannot tell you much specifically about the towns but I love the area. It's an area I've always thought of as a great place to live.

If you're a "townie" they have some of the neatest old houses in the hills above.
edit: in Sheridan, that is.

I know that I really like Sheridan, when I went through there. Good move. Don't kid yourself, there is good duck hunting in Wyoming.

Weather is COLD, hunting is GREAT.
My brother-in-law moved to Gillette 2 years ago and absolutely loves it.
Enjoy your new home.

I have visited and would move in a heartbeat. Just learn how to spell Sheridan (no e) before you have your address stamps made up.

And nobody has mentioned the fact that there are quite a few mooses up in the Bighorns. Some pretty good fishing up there, too.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I spent a couple of summers building highways near Sheridan and really liked the country. This was about ten years ago but there were a lot of antelope and mule deer in the area then.

Sorry to bounce this back to the top, the opportunity has gone, and is back. We are looking at real estate options and there are a many lots available, but I am having trouble finding information on building costs.
Lots say electric/sewer/water to the street.
any estimates or knowledge of what construction on a lot would run? Say a average 3 br house?
House prices themselves are all over the map, hard to tell why, but it seems a simple move 1 mile outside downtown Buffalo shoots the price up.

Just north of Sheridan, across the Montana state line is a reservoir, Tongue River reservoir, the crappie fishing is amazing.

if the job was gone and now available again, I'd want to know why first.... I'd recommend finding out why the other person left it... Leave the family back in NH if you have to jump on it.. get out there... road test the job and job security with it... and that will also give you time to check out the area first hand.. real estate prices etc... When I moved to Oregon back in 1995, I came out to check out the area that I'd be living in, why there was an opening with the company in the town I live in now... My spouse came out in February after I'd found a place to live etc... decent housing wasn't easy to find... dumps were.... Housing prices in the west and strong variations has a lot to do with Transient Get out of California Crowd.... If they find it popular all of sudden real estate prices rocket sky high... Local real estate people don't want to sell to some who hasn't come from California... they can't get the big bucks out of ya, like they can California people who think everything is cheap... compared to where they came from.... That scenario really doesn't matter where you look in the western US....

I have lived in Wyoming all my life, minus my AF years. I live in Lander, if I didn't I would live in Sheridan. Grab it, don't look back.

Sendero_man and wyoming260 live in Buffalo, and so does wyowinchester. Cinch lives out there too.
I'd PM them for info on Buffalo and even Sheridan.
