    Driving through Wyoming is so uniquely terrifying that I don’t do it unless the weather is perfect. I-25 to Cheyenne is considered tame by their standards and the winds are so high that it throws your car around while tipping over 18-wheelers. There are a lot of Colorado roads that I only travel seasonally, but we are so tame compared to Wyoming’s obsession with wind. They need to stop with that shit.

      I have a vivid memory of driving in whiteout conditions in Wyoming but sandwiched by semis that I couldn’t even see, so I couldn’t afford to slow down. I could only rely on google maps to make sure the road stayed straight. 20 minutes later, absolutely beautiful day. Unhinged state
